On those “i’m goin’ to get me some 3lbs of crawfish, or an oyster po’ boy from the store up the street” days, Nina’s porgy would greet me at the door.

I remember Amiri Baraka tellin’ a story on Brainard St., to a room full of hopeful writers, about he and his wife (Amina) watching Nina from the top of a staircase, in some foreign country, play sweet notes on an out of tune piano the morning after cussin’ out every staff who happened to work there the night before.
