Warren Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 My late father, Bob Discon, played piano in the Sazerac (see story linked to HERE) for many years and also tuned the piano in the Blue Room almost every night for all of the big acts that played there. If you click on the picture in the article, you can see part of his piano sticking out into the lobby. He'd be glad to know that they've reopened the hotel. Unfortunately, he passed away 3 years ago, during the renovations. The article brings back many fond memories of my childhood...sorry for being a sentimentalist, just though some of the older folks on here might like to know that the Roosevelt is back in business. It's always been one of the nicer places to go while visiting the French Quarter in New Orleans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbk240z Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 This is great news! I used to live in the Kenner/Metairie area and have been to this hotel in the past. A very beautiful place indeed! I will make sure to visit on my next trip to the "vieux carre". I am sure your Dad is smiling. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
