We are on our way to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for our yearly observation of Mardi Gras.
We will stop at the local bakery in town to pick up a King Cake and then will have shrimp gumbo and Hurricanes at Donovan's.
Some music to get you in te correct mood. These were played last night on Tom Marker's Blues Breakers show on WXRT which was called Lundi Gras in honor of Fat Monday.
