Two extremely talented and special people! What a blessing that they found (and married) each other. Lissa the undisputed queen of the French Quarter (and yes, a superb washboard player) and Roberto, an Italian yet one of the very best blues slide guitar players of modern times. Lissa we miss you but your spirit will always be with us. Roberto, the work you have gone on to do with PFC and TRES is amazing.
“Washboard” Lissa Driscoll Has Died .. SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 .. Remembering a one-of-a-kind woman this morning-- rest in peace, Lissa Driscoll. ~ Lissa was a longtime performer at various spots throughout the French Quarter and befriended and influenced many musicians in New Orleans. She first came to New Orleans to see her heroine, Blue Lu Barker, and became a street performer fixture for years, playing with dozens, if not hundreds, of different musicians throughout her time here. Lissa loved to play and did not prioritize making money from her music. - She will be greatly missed. “Washboard” Lissa Driscoll passed away this week after a battle with throat cancer. Born in Babylon, New York, and then growing up north of Seattle, Driscoll hitchhiked her way down to New Orleans over 30 years ago made herself a home in the landscape of local street music, performing on Frenchman Street and throughout the French Quarter. With a penchant for steel, she earned the monikers “Washboard Lissa,” “Guitar Lissa” and “Ragtime Annie” for her style of country blues twang centered on a steel guitar and a washboard. Some of her regular venues included Apple Barrel and Checkpoint Charlie’s. There will be a celebration to honor the life of the musician known for her straight shooting honesty this 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. this upcoming Monday at Rare Form as advertised by a Facebook event entitled “Lissa’s Really Dead This Time.” Check out the video below, originally posted by OffBeat in 2015, to revisit Lissa. ----->> ua-cam.com/video/5fKnA99aekM/v-deo.html

Miss you Lissa. Sure wish we had more time. ❤️
Semplicemente Fantastici ! It's groovy
I think Lissa was an under appreciated washboard player. She left us too early. Roberto's great too!
Sad love story! but great music lives on! happy to see that Roberto is doing great things for humanity with Playing For Change!
Why sad love story, please explain.
@@lulassong6524, To you it is a happy day when you loose a loved one??
@@gdionwood
Lose. You're not giving me an answer. I asked a question.
Just wanting to know, that's all.
@@lulassong6524i think Lissa Driscoll has died. Many people loved her as musicians and as a person. Luti played music often with her.
