Jahfin Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The Ponderosa Stomp: A Gathering of Survivors By JON PARELES Cheryl Gerber for The New York Times The Remains performing at the Ponderosa Stomp NEW ORLEANS, La.,– Guitar twangers, soul belters, blues shouters, rockabillies, funk generators, garage-rockers and psychedelic holdouts - that’s the annual Ponderosa Stomp, the two-night musical marathon, from 6 p.m. to after 3 a.m., tucked between the weekends of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Founded by Dr. Ike, an anesthesiologist named Ira Padnos with a record collector’s dedication to the combination of obscurity and wildness, the Stomp is now in its eighth year in New Orleans, where I’ll be hearing way too much music (and blogging about it) till the 40th annual Jazzfest ends on Sunday.
