Comments on: Louis Prima Tomb- Lakelawn Metairie Cemetery http://noteworthyinnola.com/2009/04/06/louis-prima-tomb-lakelawn-metairie-cemetery/ The ordinary pleasures of everyday New Orleans Sun, 01 May 2011 17:30:28 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Colette http://noteworthyinnola.com/2009/04/06/louis-prima-tomb-lakelawn-metairie-cemetery/comment-page-1/#comment-9884 Colette Sat, 22 Aug 2009 15:37:20 +0000 http://noteworthyinnola.com/index.php/?p=621#comment-9884 It's an amazing body of work Louie Prima left, and it still stands the test of time. I listen to him every time I'm in my car. He and Keely put out some good tunes, and Gia and Louie kept the music going. I can understand why Gia did not include Louie's first family on his tombstone, after all it's not that unusual. But still, it would have been nice if this marker reflected all his children, they were after all what he co-created and left behind. I enjoy this website and the fact that is a place for we Prima fans to be able to go and see clips of his performances and hear his great music.

It's an absolutely gorgeous piece of work. Gia sounds like she's got a lot of heart, and it's fantastic that she's still out there keeping Prima in people's ears.
