Music:

Way Down Yonder in New Orleans by The Georgians (1922)

Why is the music from 1922 when the images were taken in 1903? You will NOT find appropriate music mentioning New Orleans from the 1900s or 1910s in the collections of the Library of Congress. Abandon hope all ye who enter. You've been warned.
