Today is Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, and to celebrate this major party holiday, Terra Fermata, an outdoor concert venue here in Stuart, Florida and seen in the photograph above, is hosting Lefty Hathaway's tribute to Dr. John tonight from 7:00 until 10:00. Terra Fermata, by the way, is located in downtown Stuart and has live music seven days a week. It isn't Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but it is awfully convenient to get to, at least if you are here in Stuart. I was there once by accident back in 2016. I had had a beer at a local brew pub across the street, and as I was leaving, I got into a conversation with some hipsters visiting from Deerfield Beach, and wound up walking into Terra Fermata with them. It was at that point in my life that I realized this was no longer my parent's Stuart. I later found out that Terra Fermata always has a cover charge, which I assume the group I was with had already paid for earlier in the evening, and I had unconsciously gotten into the place for free. Definitely a win-win in my book. In any case, if you want to party in Stuart instead of New Orleans tonight, the tickets are $10 online or $15 at the door. And no, I will not be attending. I don't do cover charges. Not then and definitely not now.
