Welcome to Episode Five of Everything New Orleans the Podcast,

where we talk about all kinds of things that come from my hometown, 

but mainly we focus on traditional New Orleans music.

Today we got started with two musicians born and raised in the city of New Orleans:

Roderick Paulin, the son of trumpeter Ernest Doc Paulin, 

who was the leader of the legendary Paulin Bros. Brass Band. 

Roderick is known for playing sax, and more recently, 

playing clarinet like his late brother Rickey.

And Mark Braud, son of Dwight and Joyce Braud- 

His mama’s brother is trumpeter Wendell Brunious, Mark’s uncle.

Mark is also the nephew of John Brunious, Jr., and grandson of John Brunious, Sr., all professional trumpet players. 

Later, we’re joined by drummer Herlin Riley, son of the late Betty Lastie Williams and a member of the Lastie musical family, including Frank, Walter, David, Melvin and Joe Lastie.

One of the things they have in common is that all three of them grew up in musical families, surrounded by traditional New Orleans music.

They grew up in 3 different families, but music made them all part of the family of musicians from the city of New Orleans.
