PATRICK JEFFRIES is a superintendant for EPIC Divers & Marine, which provides commercial diving and marine services world wide, including gas and oil platform and pipeline service, well repair, and underwater inspection and construction. Jeffries discusses life as a commercial diver, his current work in the Gulf of Mexico and the ongoing recovery effort since the explosion on BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig.
As part of our ongoing series of interviews with musicians in New Orleans, we feature someone who was passing through during this year's Jazz and Heritage Festival. KEELY SMITH got her musical and matrimonial debut from New Orleans native Louis Prima back in the 1950s. They set up shop in Las Vegas, performing big band numbers and standards mixed with entertaining banter. Bob talks with Smith about her successful life after Prima, both in love and in music.
While visiting New Orleans on July 4th, Bob got to sample a limeade snoball from Hansen's Sno Bliz. ASHLEY HANSEN SPRINGGATE now runs the family store which was started by her grandparents 71 years ago. She uses the same ice shaving machine her grandfather invented and patented decades ago and still makes her own flavored syrups according to her grandmother's secret recipes.
Bob Edwards Weekend is a two-hour interview showcase, in which celebrated host Bob Edwards highlights the life and work of interesting people, from newsmakers, historians, and authors to artists, actors, and regular folks too.
