R.I.P. Lissa Driscoll (aka Washboard Lissa, Guitar Lissa, Ragtime Annie, etc.)
I just received word that long-time New Orleans entertainer and French Quarter musician, Lissa Driscoll, passed away earlier this week after a long struggle with cancer. Lissa Driscoll was a fixture in the French Quarter and on Frenchman Street for over thirty years, playing at clubs such as Checkpoint Charlie’s, the Apple Barrel, and, most recently, Rare Form. She will be greatly missed by her friends, family, and fans.
