- July 08
It’s time to begin
promoting one of the best shows of the year.
Gerard Langlois and I are lining up the
Elvis and Jesse Show again this year!
It’s scheduled for August 17, 2008
at Sullivan’s on College @ Corporate,
7 – 10pm. We’ll have most
of the same backup band, and it will be
as funtastic as always. Mark this
one down and start telling everyone.
That’s a Sunday, fyi. If we
can, we’ll again make this event charity
related, to keep in the spirit of Elvis
Presley.
New gigs this month:
Jones Creek Café
– July 17 and 31
15005 Market St., Baton
Rouge, 225-755-3550
This great spot has been around for decades,
now in a newer facility. I’ll
be on the patio, with good weather –
6:30pm. http://www.jonescreekcafe.com/
In the Shenandoah/Woodlawn area…
Mi Padre’s Mexican
Grill and Cantina – July 9
37460 Ultima Plaza Blvd,
Prairieville, 225-673-6364
Marco used to be at Superior Grill, and
though I wasn’t looking for more Wednesdays,
he really wants me there! Nice little
cantina – next to Winn Dixie on Airline
– 6pm.
It’s been a tough
half year on my voice. Just can’t
get in a groove with it and I’ve been
frustrated. I hope it gets better
soon, but it’s been difficult.
July is not as busy, so I hope it will improve
and get back to normal. I apologize
for one of my worst sounding performances,
EVER, at Pastime Lounge in June. Thanks
to G Lang and Joan for helping me get through
that one.
Not many festivals in
July, but there is one in my hometown, Gonzales:
Swamp Pop Music Festival, July 18
– 19 - http://www.swamppopmusicfest.com/home.php.
Of all the towns in all the world, this
style of music has to be here, huh?
Hehe…. Check out Tales of the
Cocktail in New Orleans, celebrating all
those fabulous concoctions - http://www.talesofthecocktail.com/2008/index.php
I am carrying over
these ideas from last month – please
help me with them:
Help me on this idea, please friends:
my buddy, Clay Jenkins, serving in Afghanistan,
says what they need over there are books,
magazines, and CDs. He says they always
seem to run short of those. Will you
buy or donate any books or magazines, and
burn/copy or donate any CDs to this cause,
and bring them to my gigs this month?
If we can send a nice box of these items
there, I’d be grateful. I’ll
handle all the shipping. I guess it’s
up to us to figure out the type of material,
but anything would be worthwhile, I’m
sure. Maybe you have some CDs you
don’t listen to often. Shoot,
just download it to your computer or burn
a copy – we’ll send them over.
Thank you very much.
Related to that –
check out http://www.jrcigars.com/
Go to that site and enter the word TROOPS
in the cigar search box at the top left.
It will open up a page where you can buy
4 cigars at the price of 3. And JR
Cigar will send another cigar to US troops
overseas! I’m gonna take advantage
of this deal. What a good gift for
your friends who enjoy an occasional smoke
- and we’ll be doing another nice
thing to remember our military personnel.
I hope you all have
a safe and happy 4th of July holiday celebration.
Might be doing a little bit of that myself.
Thanks,
Kirk
