Familiar faces filled Duval Street on Feb. 16, when the 10th annual Crooks Second LIne marched down the town’s main drag, carrying giant photos of lost loved ones in Key West’s version of a New Orleans funeral tradition.
Several hundred people joined the moving, musical celebration of life, which started at noon at the Hog’s Breath Saloon and ended at the Green Parrot Bar.
The annual event is named for the late Key West drummer Richard Crooks and raises money for the Bahama Village Music Program. A $100 donation gives participants a giant photo placard of their loved one and placement of the photo on the event’s annual T-shirt. More information is at crookssecondlinekw.com.
