Good morning.
I'm Jane Pauley, and this is a special edition of Sunday Morning. We're in New Orleans, known as the Crescent City, for the shape it forms around a bend in the lower Mississippi River. A place of uncommon resilience. all the more compelling as we approach Friday's twentieth anniversary. of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina.
but also a hub of unique culture. Food, music. and design. The magnificent estate we're calling home for much of the morning is Longview House and Gardens, eight acres of lush greenery and vibrant colour. Built as a private residence nearly a hundred years ago, Longview and its gardens are now open to the public year-round, with local designers taking particular pride in its heritage.
But as Lee Cowan explains, That's just one part of the multifaceted legacy of New Orleans. It's been said New Orleans is as much a feeling as it is a place. See, beep, beep, beep. And this week That feeling is a mix of both remorse for what was lost in Katrina 20 years ago. Mm.
And resilience for just how far the region has rebounded. We'll take you through its neighborhoods, its parks, its restaurants, and on the river. All throughout the morning. Gumbo. Jambalaya.
Beignets. all traditional New Orleans fair. Morocco will introduce us to some chefs putting a new spin on the Crescent City's classic cuisine. New Orleans has always been a culinary crossroads. Chefs Serene and Bai.
and Nina Compton are bringing something new to the mix.
So tender. More people need to go from their lives. They do. I agree. I agree.
Beyond Gumbo. later on Sunday morning. Actor Christian Bale is best known for the intensity of his performances. But as Tracy Smith will show us, Bale has an interest far closer to home.
Okay. In the movies, actor Christian Bale won a race in the California desert. Incredible finish.
Now he's out here again, building a real-life home for foster kids. How long have you been dreaming about this place? 17 years since my daughter was three years old. Oscar winner Christian Bale on the roll of a lifetime ahead on Sunday morning. themselves Inside Out, the theme of reports from Nancy Giles and David Pogue.
They lead to just about anything you can imagine. There's a secret button underneath the light fixture. When we press the button, Let's see if the door opens. we have our storage room. hidden in plain sight.
Or exposed to the elements. Not just a table, but it's a swim-up bar. And the heart of this is the outdoor kitchen. And where does the helicopter land exactly? It's the hottest thing in indoor living.
bringing it outdoors. Coming up on Sunday morning. And that's just for starters. Michelle Miller goes on the hunt for some of New Orleans's most distinctive designs. Jonathan Vigliotti heads to Hawaii to learn about the fiftieth State's most famous symbol, delay.
Seth Doan gets a truly remarkable tour. of the trully houses of Italy. Jamie Wax shows why seersucker is the preferred fabric for New Orleans' hottest parties. plus a look at a classic shoe with sole in every sense of the word. And much more from the Big Easy when we return.
In the heart of New Orleans. Historic Jackson Square, named for future President Andrew Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. As Lee Cowan explains, it's just one of the colorful chapters in this beloved city's history. That Voice of the Mississippi. It still sings here in New Orleans.
Old echoes. in a city that is somehow always new. It's a place where umbrellas dance. The boomers. Mingles with vignettes.
Where the dead sleep among the living. and whether you're reverent Hold hands. with the sacred. It's a city that enjoys life. It's a city that lives for the moment.
It's a city that's not judgmental. It's a city where people don't worry as much. Like so many taken by New Orleans, Robert Florence came here to be a playwright and an author. There's an element of surprise to this city and I've been here a long time and I have no idea what's going to happen when you walk out there. Longtime New Orleans resident, Tennessee Williams counted it among America's top three cities.
And he's said to have remarked that everywhere else It's clean right there. Cradled in the crescent of the Mississippi's embrace, the area had been inhabited by indigenous peoples for centuries. It's never been an easy place to live though. Fires and wars and disease were formidable foes. even a New Year's Day terror attack.
But nothing. was as bad as the wrath of Katrine. It hit 20 years ago this week. And to this day, Reminders remain. abandoned buildings, empty lots where homes once stood, The city's population still hasn't bounced back to pre-Katrina numbers.
And yet None of it. has kept New Orleans down. We're still here. Those of us who are here want to be here. Because there's no place like it.
Mona Lisa Soloy is a professor at Dillard University. I'm about how words work up a gumbo of culture. As Louisiana's former poet laureate, She can paint this town. with words. Sitting under gallery shades, sipping lemonade.
Wear in the afternoon like a new dress. People seem to think that it's just a party city. And Lord, we know how to party. But it's families that make the traditions. And those families have deep roots in a lot of places.
The French claimed it in seventeen eighteen. Later it was controlled by Spain, then the French again, until Thomas Jefferson bought it as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Among those first settlers were some pretty hardy folks, criminals, counterfeiters, pirates, and prostitutes. They weren't the Puritans. At the same time, it's been a very religious city.
in a very spiritual city. And maybe in that duality, is the city's secret sauce. Has it always been a little naughty and a little nice, New Orleans? Always. Yeah, it's always been that way.
There's the good folks and the you know. Yeah. Like many cities in the South, New Orleans was built on the backs of the enslaved. But unlike other places in the South, the enslaved and free people of color. lived shoulder to shoulder and were allowed to celebrate their traditions.
Not hide. On Sunday afternoon, after worship, Black people could Unite and sell their wares and practice drumming and dancing and singing. No other place in the country allowed that kind of public, free congregation of enslaved Africans and free. Those African traditions started to merge with the musical influences all around. Like classical music, opera, the mambo, the tango.
That's my Satchimo, the one with the horn. And that fusion. Can you Jets. Do you know what it means? Yeah.
To Miss New Orleans. Small button I miss it each night They Birthed in this stew of cultures, locals like Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver. It created a sound that was never heard before. And it is still. Evolving to that.
But if the music is the heartbeat of the world, Sam It's Friole cuisine. the city's soul. Excess is expected. Mark Twain, who grew up on southern cooking, once said that New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin. And it's also just a feast for the eyes from colorful Creole cottages.
to the Grand Annabelle Mansions. And then there's this. It's people watching. At its fight. Elegant.
Grit. Acceptance and defiance. They are all. In America. of New Orleans.
I think it's more than the buildings and the music and the food. I think it's... It's the people that draws people here. If you could sum up New Orleans in a word, what do you think that word would be? Happy.
Yeah. Yeah, we keep that. It's part of us. You were not letting it go. It wasn't that long ago that our Michelle Miller was serving as First Lady of New Orleans.
Her husband is former Mayor Mark Moriel. All through the morning she had She helps us tour the town, far. First, All aboard. In his work, artist Terrence Osborne creates a magical version of New Orleans. Everybody's getting on the streetcar to continue the second line.
And they're uptown bound. And his painting Uptown Bound is a tribute to the city's most magical moving icon. The Saint Charles Avenue streetcar. You could paint a modern car and it's going to be boring, right? It's just a car.
A streetcar looks like something else, so it's much more interesting. They told me to take a streetcar named Azary. It tells a story about. the place that it exists in. Streetcars once existed in cities all over America.
But when the automobile came along, most were sent to the scrap heap. Even New Orleans replaced nearly all its streetcars with buses.
Okay. And yet, those iconic green cars just kept on humming. Loudly. I think they're synonymous with the identity of New Orleans. Lona Edwards Hankins is the CEO of the city's transit authority.
In the last two decades, the agency has reintroduced streetcars, modern streetcars, but not on the St. Charles Avenue line. These are the originals. These are the OGs. I mean, why not just modernize them?
So that is a challenge. Built by the Pearley A. Thomas Company in 1923. It takes an army of craftsmen to keep them rolling. We have electricians.
metal workers, wood workers. Bodyman. Like machinist Anthony Maggio, who's been at it for 44 years. Anything that needs to be made. We can make it.
What does it say that New Orleans is so committed to that rich century old history. I think it says that we love our city, just simply. If you love something, you preserve it. And, says Terrence Osborne, as long as that magical streetcar is moving, this city will never be standing still. You can't have New Orleans without a straight car.
It won't make sense. New Orleans, of course, is a food town. Hot beignets, anyone? Still, Mo Raka reminds us there's a lot more on the menu. It's really my comfort food.
like curry for me like on a rainy day or like a cold day. It makes my soul very happy. To eat in New Orleans is to taste the world.
So tender. More people. need to go from their lives. They do. I agree.
I agree. In 2015, Nina Compton, whom some will recognize from Bravo's Top Chef, Bernard, you'll take two tuna please. Opened Compare La Pan. with her husband Larry Miller. The two had met years earlier in Miami.
I tasted her food before I met her. I heard this great laugh coming out of the kitchen. And when I figured out the same laugh, was making that good food, I started pursuing her. What does compare Le Pan mean? It means brother rabbit.
It's a folk tale I grew up with in St. Lucia. Her father, Sir John Compton, led the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia to independence in 1979, then served as its first Prime Minister. How much of this restaurant is St. Lucia, how much is New Orleans?
I would say 50% New Orleans and 50% St. Lucia. So it becomes a very harmonious menu. The restaurant's signature curried goat is something Compton ate growing up in St. Lucia.
It's the number one selling dish. People come for it, they ask for it. Did you grow up with goat? No, not at all. The first time I had goat was with her.
We're in New Orleans, so let's talk about the other G word. Gumbo. It's not on the menu. It's not on the menu. People assume that I would have gumbo in the menu and When I moved here, it is such a personal thing.
I just wanted to respect the people that came before me and Just let them have The gumbo The absence of gumbo hasn't seemed to hurt. In 2018, Nina Compton won the James Beard Foundation's Award for Best Chef in the South. Sure, thank you for the trip. It looks beautiful. While Chef Compton has brought the Caribbean to New Orleans, Chef Serene Mbai is bringing West Africa to the Crescent City.
I always get to share a story about how this plague came about.
Sometimes give a deep History about what's happening here. Can I say one thing? I really love the colors. Mumbai opened Dakar Nola in 2022 after it started as a pop-up restaurant. where he met his business partner, Effie Richardson.
It was the first time I actually saw a tasting menu of West African food, and I just loved the concept. Mbai spent much of his youth in Senegal, to reach Dakar is its capital, but he was born in Harlem, where he watched his mother cook for relatives and neighbors. She was literally nurturing people's souls through food. I realized that I wanted it.
Something that reminiscs how my mom made everyone feel. But it was in Senegal where Mbai was inspired by the traditional one-pot cooking technique. A lot of dishes are composed by maybe six or seven different components that's made in a different pot. Versus Seneca, everything happened within one pot. That spirit of unity is reflected in the restaurant's oval communal tables.
I love the table. Why is it this shape? It's a connector. I feel like it's a perfect table to connect people together. allowing strangers to get to really know each other.
especially when you eat with your hands. There's enough room on the table for the food, but then there's also closeness that allows you to really engage with. Everyone at the table. After biting into this cassava and trout row starter, this correspondent understood why DiCar Nola won the Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in 2024. It really has a kick also at the end, which I love.
I'm a fan of yucca fries. It's like a very refined but delicious. Hash brown. Yes. While neither of these restaurants serves gumbo, both are bringing ingredients and traditions that have made New Orleans food scene an even richer stew.
The food is not dainty or very fruitful, it's really about satisfying your soul and making you happy. Back to our home away from home. you'd be hard pressed to find a house and gardens quite like Longview. Designed by Ellen Biddle Shipman. This masterpiece of 20th century home and landscape architecture conjures the lush feeling of an English country estate.
Longview was built for philanthropists Edgar and Edith Stern, who wanted their home to exist in harmony with its surrounding gardens. Shipman hired architects William and Jeffrey Platt to help make her vision come to life. The home was completed in 1942. Among many distinctive corks, each of its four facades features a different architectural style. and all might be considered to be the front of the house.
each opening on to a variety of unique gardens. Inside, Longview was one of the first homes in the humid South to have the then unheard of luxury. Central Air Conditioning. The Sterns always intended to raise their family at Longview and then donate it, and they did just that. Giving Ellen Biddle Shipman's Dream to the Public.
for all to explore and enjoy. Inside Long View. It's easy to imagine some Southern gentleman looking resplendent in a seersucker suit. Jamie Wax is a thirty eight short. It's summertime in New Orleans, and that means at Rubenstein's, the city's oldest men's clothing store, one item is selling like beignets, seersuckers suits.
Seriously is not meant to be Form fitting. Andre Rubinstein is the second-generation co-owner of the famed haberdashery in the heart of a place that just loves to suit up. There's a lot of formal occasions where tuxedos are suit-appropriate, and there are restaurants here that require a jacket. It's that sort of formal influence that uh is still in this city. And Rubenstein says there's another big reason why Searsucker is so perfectly suited to New Orleans.
Well, because it's hot. There's not many other fabrics that are worth wearing other than a nice cotton sear sucker. And now it comes in. All kinds of colors. All kinds of colors indeed.
All right, this screams Easter, spring to me. The thing about it. Searsaka is It should be comfortable. Wow. This is a statement piece.
How many seersucker suits would you say move through this store per year? It's a couple of hundred every season. The word seersucker comes from the Persian shirshukar, meaning milk and sugar. It's made by weaving alternating tight tension yarn with loose tension yarn, allowing the loose yarn to bunch up while the tight remains smooth, creating small waves. It's puckered and what that does is it creates the pockets of ear and so it's laid off of your skin so it's breathable and it's comfortable.
Laurie Haspel is fourth-generation owner and CEO of Haspel, the New Orleans-born company that has been synonymous with seersucker suits since her great-grandfather, Joseph Haspel Sr., started making them in his New Orleans factory in the early 1900s. In those days, it was still only the wool, the flannel, the heavy suits that were made that were not breathable.
So taking this seersucker fabric that was really very inexpensive at the time and turning it into a gentleman's suit, it became a status symbol. Those breathable Haspel suits have made some prominent appearances through the years, from presidents to authors and celebrities, and perhaps most famously when Gregory Peck wore a custom-made three-piece Haspel as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. All men are. Created Equal. What is special about the connection between New Orleans and the Sears Sucker suit.
We make clothing that is meant for a good time. And that's the culture of New Orleans. To put that theory to the test, we invited a small group of New Orleans to join us wearing their own personal spins on Seersucker at NOLA's International House Hotel. I think it's New Orleans' only contribution to fashion. You can dress it up, you can dress it down.
If it's like almost any occasion. It's casual, but it's also tailored, so it gives you that versatility. Searsucker used to be associated with, I think, old southern men and stuffy clubs, that kind of thing. It's very different now. I mean, you see women in it constantly.
I know. No, I think it's very hip. I think Searsucker is very hip. I think New Orleans has figured out a way to be the coolest place on the planet. while also being the hottest.
And Searsucker 2 is a lot like New Orleans, staying hot and cool era after era by being a little bit rough. and a little smooth. A city known for its centuries-old ironwork. really need someone who can keep it looking like new. I take something apart, it's like me having a conversation with the person that originally fabricated it.
And what are you saying to that person? I'm not talking to him. You're talking to me. This is designed to go in the fire of all. Daryl Reeves is a restoration blacksmith, one of just a handful of these once ubiquitous craftsmen still working in New Orleans today.
You could not have a town without a blacksmith and a doctor. It wouldn't survive. And put the industrial age. The blacksmith faded away. But their work survives in the city's French quarter.
Elegantly simple, this wrought iron was hand-forged by blacksmiths, including highly skilled, enslaved, and free African Americans. You can still find the African symbols they left hiding in plain sight. This is all wrought along here. This is all wrought. But, says Richard Campanella, a historical geographer with Tulane University's School of Architecture, by the 1820s, a new method for melting iron had emerged.
And then you could pour it in molds. You could make it as ornate as you want. You could acorns, oak leaves, elegant filigree. A blacksmith would be there for, you know, years. Exactly.
In 1849, the French aristocrat Baroness Michaela Almanaster de Pontalba built two grand apartment buildings flanking Jackson Square. Their intricate iron lace galleries kicked off a craze that would come to define New Orleans. I would describe it as keeping up with the Pontalbas.
Now everyone wanted a beautiful cast iron gallery.
Now 74, Darryl Reeves is training the next generation of New Orleans blacksmiths. He helps the city's signature ironwork. and the craft that made it possible. can survive. I've restored a lot of pieces that's 100, 200 years old.
You're the link in the chain that. We'll get it going for another hundred years. That's right. When people. have to take and restore my work.
They'll be looking at it like I look at it. You'll be talking to him. Yup. Yeah. Not unlike a garden, children need nurturing to grow and thrive.
A philosophy actor Christian Bale has taken to heart. Tracy Smith explains. It's not who I am underneath. But what I do... That defines me.
You can say this about Christian Bale. He really knows how to commit. The vice presidency is a mostly symbolic job. Through the years, he's remade himself as a vice president. Yep, that's him.
That's a good possibility. A prize fighter. Even a newsboy. Are we just gonna take what they give us? And now he's all in on a real life mission to help some kids who could really use a hero.
This little plot of land east of Los Angeles in the desert community of Palmdale is where he's trying to make magic happen. The Oscar-winning actor is helping to build a foster care home, specially designed to keep orphaned siblings together. How often do foster kids get separated from their brothers and sisters? Approximately 75% of the time. And so you imagine the trauma of that, you know, being taken from your parents and then you lose your siblings.
You know, that's just something that we shouldn't be doing. Bail was a child actor and not a foster kid himself, so you might wonder why he's getting involved in this. He says he just had to. You moved around a lot as a kid. Do you think that had an effect on you?
I think, I mean look, I think it probably did, but I don't think you have to have any connection to foster care in your past. It's just about a basic understanding that as a society, how can we not take care of our children?
So I don't think it requires a connection. It just requires having a heart. He says his inspiration came seventeen years ago when he looked at the young daughter he had with his wife CB and thought of other kids who weren't so lucky. He started looking into foster care and found Tim McCormick, who ran foster homes in Chicago for decades and made sure all of his kids got through high school.
So 100% high school graduation rate, whereas the statistic for foster kids and graduation is about 48%. Only 3% of the 400,000 kids in foster care ever graduate college. And I think this is what this site is about. We create a place. for authentic goodness to flourish.
And it certainly impacts the child, but it impacts all of us. We create a different story of us as a society. They created Together California, a home for siblings, and the name really says it all. Here siblings will all stay together in individual houses around a central garden, and they'll be cared for by trained foster parents whose only job will be to look after them. The home is designed by the architects at AC Martin.
They usually do large-scale projects like skyscrapers. Still, AC Martin boss Tom Shea says this is one of their biggest priorities. You know, we take care of these kids. We show them how much we love them. Why was this so important to you?
Why'd you take this on? I think we're at a point in our society where we have to help. And for me, you know, like exciting is creating the next high-rise. We need to give back to society and community. This is small, but I'm tremendously proud of this project.
I'm gonna outbreak you on the next turn, boy! Bale shot the movie Ford vs. Ferrari not far from here, so he's familiar with this part of Southern California. Right now, the home is still a construction site, but Christian Bale says he can already see it all. When you look around.
Can you see it in your mind? Oh, absolutely, yeah. No, I love doing that. I love designing. I love architecture.
And it's like, no, because I see that and I see the steps and I'm changing this around.
So I adore the whole design process. And so actually seeing it really coming to happen is just very, very exciting. And so, after 17 years of slow progress and some financial help from friends like Leonardo DiCaprio, they're hoping to welcome the first kids early next year. Of course, for bail, it's not soon enough. You said you were a little bit naive.
You thought it would take a couple years to complete.
Well, ignorance is bliss. If I'd have known it had been 17 years, I still would have done it. You still would have done it. There's a lot more work ahead, like fundraising and finding the right foster parents. But it's all finally starting to take shape.
And to Christian Bale, it's truly the role of a lifetime. You know, you're known as an actor who's rather intense about his roles. Have you approached this with the same intensity? More so. More so.
Because this is something that when, you know, I'm closing my eyes for the last time, I want to look and say, you know, obviously my family. I want to be thinking about them. I want to think about did I do some good? Did I make any changes in the world that were useful? And this will be one of the things that I'll be most proud of when I, you know, draw my last breath.
From Homes with Style to sneakers with soul. With Luke Burbank, we take flight. In Queens, New York, more than 200 people lined up to pay $200 for a shoe most of them already owned. The Nike Air Jordan. The most successful basketball shoe in history turns 40 this year, and yet it almost didn't happen.
He did not want to be there. And he had told his agent I'm not going. Howard White was in the room back in nineteen eighty four when Michael Jordan, then a rookie, short on NBA experience but long on potential, was basically dragged to Oregon by his parents to meet with a relatively small sneaker company called Nike. This was bigger than anything that we'd done. You know, typically a great player would get like $100,000, but this was so unique.
in terms of Just doing it. The offer $2.5 million to wear their shoes, triple what anyone else in the league was making. Air Jordan by Nike. Jordan took the deal, and the rest is sneaker history. Nothing's hotter.
When Nike launched the Air Jordans back in 1985, they hoped to sell $3 million worth of product. Instead, they sold 126 million in one year. There's a kabomb. WHAT Jam! Here's Jordan Donovan.
Much of that success was thanks to Jordan's incredible play on the court. And that's what they came to see, didn't they? But there was also Nike's marketing approach, which was groundbreaking in its own right. Joining the cultural conversation in ways few commercials for basketball shoes ever had. It's gotta be a shoe!
It's gotta be a shoe! It's shoe! And don't forget the shoes' design itself, a process that managed to blend sports technology with a set of aesthetic principles that would make Jordan's as much a fashion statement as a fashion. as a basketball shoe. As evidenced by the Christian Dior Jordans Howard White was wearing for our interview, which retail for up to $17,000.
In order to translate what he did as a man into what we do as a brand, you have to start with a series of principles. We call them ethos. 40 years later, that design work falls to Jason Maiden, chief design officer for the Jordan brand, which these days is a standalone division within Nike that generates some $7 billion a year by itself. you first start with connectivity. Why this product has relevance and reverence, then you put that into a very strict process that we call visioneering.
And so, what's interesting is we have a playbook. I can't show you what's in it. But you can show me the outside. I can show you the cover, it's beautiful. If you could peek inside, you'd probably see one of the designs for their yearly Air Jordan release.
Yes, Nike has been releasing a new pair of Jordans every year for the last 40 years. Does a lot of the stuff that your team designs, does Michael Jordan get eyes on it still, a lot of it? Like how central is he to the operation here in 2025, 40 years in? Oh, he's very integral. He's very integral to the operation.
He sees everything. He trusts us a lot. He has opinions on things that are near and dear to him. It has given me my life's purpose. Legendary.
Sean Williams founded the Soul Shoal Studies Community Academy in Brooklyn, a program dedicated to studying, promoting, and collecting shoes. Sneakers are wearable art. You're giving the sneakers a level of depth. and aka storytelling. that convinces the Sumer that they're making the right purchase when they buy these sneakers.
But for Howard White, who still works at Nike and still talks to Michael Jordan often. The Air Jordan success is because it's not actually the story of a shoe. It's the story of something Much bigger. That's totally transcended basketball at this point, right? There have been a lot of basketball shoes.
It's not about basketball. And if this simple article of footwear can make people interpret themselves. in a way that gives them Just the How would believe me? Yeah. That's what the Jordan brain.
is about. They called Demon Malenson, the beadmaster of New Orleans. I sell with the smallest bees. That's where you get the most detail. But a Mardi Gras, he's also known as the big chief of the Young Seminole Hunters Black Masking Tribe.
Long barred from official parade. African Americans created their own way to celebrate. Mardi Gras Indians wear massive, colorful suits to honor the Native Americans who help black people escaping slavery. We're challenging each other. And a challenge is...
The challenge is... I'm going to sing against you, I'm going to dance against you, and I'm going to show you how I'm better than you and so on. My day Malasaw started masking when he was just 14. When he became a big chief, an elder noticed the beadwork on his suit. And he told me, he says, your time, bruh.
Looking at my work, he was saying, man, you more than just a black Mexican Indian, you an artist. His work has been shown all over the world. A solo exhibition is currently on display at Philadelphia's African American Museum. DeG Ducat is the museum's curator. You look at what Seurat was doing in the 19th century with oil paint and now DeMonde is doing this with bead work, which is to me is even more amazing and captivating.
His main goal was just like mine is to preserve this culture. And he takes us in places where I'd have never thought we'd have been. Once practiced in secret, Black masking has gone mainstream in New Orleans. The Backstreet Cultural Museum, where Horace X is a tour guide, attracts visitors from across the globe. It is a blessing to be able to tell our story.
And earlier this year, the NFL hired a black masker, Queen Taj, to design the Super Bowl logo.
So, what I'm doing right now. All that attention is just fine for Big Chief Demon Malenson. Come Mardi Grade. He says he'll still be right here. You are making a suit right now to Maz this coming year.
Hiya flag masking in my life. changed my life and made my life what it is today. Hey ya! Thank you for listening. Please join us when our trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning.
