What about me, you say? Well, my turn-on’s include singing to drunk girls who flash me at Spanky’s Daiquiris (you missed it this week), playing songs I don’t know and getting away with it, springtime pollination (a headache, but look at the flowers!), and my big ass truck loaded with friends and drinks on the way to a festival. Turn-off’s are still girls who huff and puff because I don’t play Brown-Eyed Girl. It’s so fun to watch, though. And, it makes it easy to eliminate them from the dating pool! However, I will dance with you to that song.

It’s spring, and today is so pretty here. I’m only inside so’s I can keep you up to date with my sizzling lifestyle. After I do this, I plan on going downstairs and finishing the laundry… hehe. Seriously friends, thanks for checking the website. The monthly schedule is now printable, by the way Lyn. Thanks Jimmy Granier, webmaster!

I hope you have started on my list of things to do in spring. I want to thank Kelly for the great party during the St. Patrick’s Day parade. I really enjoyed the morning with friends and food. Thanks Joan, Richard, Liz, and Selena for coming and spending some money at the Alzheimers benefit on Mar. 27. Here’s what’s up this month:

I’m doing the usual gigs at Spanky’s on Sundays, Seafood Ya Ya on Tuesdays, one Friday at Superior with the boys, 3 Fridays and 1 Monday at On the Half Shell, 1 appearance at the Station, and probably 1 Monday at the Caterie with the Monday Night Band. And, I’M GONNA START PLAYING THE NEW BULLDOG THIS MONTH! The new Bulldog, I say, is at 5135 Canal Blvd., in the building that was the Parkway Tavern – a famous New Orleans college hangout, where I actually saw the Molly Ringwolds before they hit. It’s in the Mid-City area and looks really cool - with a big patio, kinda like the Gingerman in Houston. I might be on the patio, but we’ll see. I’ll be there every Thursday around 9pm in April and, hopefully, will rotate between the two Bulldogs, month to month. Rhett Anthony will now be appearing at the Magazine St. Bulldog, too. He’ll be there April 1st and maybe April 29th. John Gros will still be in the rotation, too, but Papa Grows Funk has him very busy. Damn, he’s playing Tokyo this week!

Happy birthday wishes to Jenny, Liz, and Selena – all with birthdays on Fridays within a month of each other, all good friends to me. Jive Train was a blast last Friday night! These guys are some kinda soulful and talented, and they let me sing Al Green with them! Catch them at www.jivetrain.com. Oh, look for some rumblings with Debbie Landry and friends Stompin’ Ground and Jimmy Granier. I heard things….

JazzFest, French Quarter Fest, Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival, and Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis are all upon us. Do some web searches on those things and tell me you can skip them! I have some links to these on my links page. I should be at JazzFest on April 24th. I may have a flag with my logo on it. So if you see it, stop by.

It’s a blessing to my life to be able to play music and even make a living at it. Thanks for your help in making that possible for me. Let’s remember our troops that are trying to preserve freedom around the world and are in harms way. Thank you soldiers. Whatever you think of our President, he does say what he believes, and doesn’t seem to follow whatever wind blows. I hope you and your family are happy, safe and sound, right now. I hope we have some crawfish together and sing and dance.
