Go ahead, we DARE you. Try listening to this week's re-broadcast of Music Inside Out with Deacon John Moore and NOT enjoying yourself.

As a guitarist, band leader and showman, Deacon John has been delighting crowds for more than half a century. This year, he's played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the White House. He's just that irresistible.  

By the way, there's no prize for not having a good time with us this week. But there may be lagniappe. As the Deacon himself sings, " … You'll be fighting a losing battle. But you'll have so much fun trying to win ..."

So lock up your daughters and tune in.
