Grandpa Elliott Small debuts at New Orleans Jazz Fest today

Grandpa Elliott Small's career on the streets of the French Quarter spans 60 years.

His usual spot is the corner of Toulouse and Royal streets, right where he started out.

"I used to tap here when I was a little kid," he said.

One day when his uncle left for work without his harmonica, he picked it up and put it to his mouth.

"Oooh, it was awful," he said, laughing. "He chewed tobacco. I had to sterilize that thing."
