Lake Ponchartrain and Jazz

Milenburg joys West End Blues

During the hot summers in New Orleans, music fans headed to camps on Lake Ponchartrain. The camps consisted of shacks built on stilts on the lake which allowed for cooler breezes to help beat the heat and humidity. The two famous jazz songs below are named for these communities found only miles from New Orleans.
