In memory of Antoinette K-Doe, who passed away on Mardi Gras day, February 24, 2009. Antoinette K-Doe was the owner of the colorful Mother-in-Law Lounge and widow of world renowned New Orleans musician, Ernie K-Doe, the self proclaimed "Emperor of the Universe." Antoinette spoke about Ernie’s career and awards, described Ernie’s challenges with alcohol and explained how she built him back up. She also had some very good thoughts regarding race relations in New Orleans.
