Thanks for posting this. I had no idea who this gentleman was and enjoyed reading about him. I love how he used his bass drum to stay afloat during Katrina. What a legend! :-)
The "Treme 2012" bicentennial poster is a photograph of Batiste and his drum. Toni Rice of the Multicultural Tourism Network said the group was donating $10 from each poster sale to help with Batiste's medical and funeral costs.
