  The French Market Corporation has been putting on the Creole Tomato Festival for 23 years, but the Cajun Zydeco and Louisiana Seafood festivals are both relative newcomers, said Scott Aiges, spokesman for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Foundation, which sponsors the Cajun Zydeco Festival.
  
  "Two years ago, when we were looking to launch the Cajun Zydeco Festival, we had decided we wanted to launch several new festivals, dedicated to different musical genres -- one for blues, one for Latin music, one for African drumming and dance," he said. "When we found out the (Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board) folks were looking into building their own festival celebrating Louisiana seafood, we thought, 'Music, seafood, Cajun-zydeco -- sounds like a pretty good combination.'
  
  "We made plans to work together, and we did, not realizing that we were planning it for the same weekend as the French Market's tomato fest."
  
  The accident turned out to be serendipitous for all parties involved, Aiges said.

  Before Hurricane Katrina, the city hired Scott Aiges to head the Office of Music Development.His job was to help develop the music industry into an economic engine.But he soon became the point man for all music-related issues and the industry's most public advocate.
  
  When the city threatened and eventually shut down the Funky Butt on Rampart Street due to permitting issues similar to to King Bolden's, Aiges was the music club's lone defender, which landed him in trouble with city officials, he said.
  
  Aiges' greatest success was creating an entertainment district along Frenchmen Street that legalized live music where it was illegal before.
  
  After the storm, however, the city included Aiges in a round of staffing cuts and dissolved the Office of Music Development.
  ...
  Even when there was a music office in place, Aiges said a lack of money hampered most of its efforts.The New Orleans Tourism and Marketing Corp. receives $1 million annually from the city's general fund and less than $100,000 went to the music office's annual budget.
  
  "We didn't have the money to follow through on great ideas," Aiges said.

  One observer who believes it does is Scott Aiges, the director of music business development for the City of New Orleans (he's also a prominent music critic in Louisiana).Aiges, whose position is to create jobs through developing his city's music scene, believes that Preservation Hall Recording has already covered the essential bases for a start-up operation in any industry.
  
  "They've got undeniably fantastic product and they know exactly where they live in the universe," Aiges says.
