Hello again, friends!
I hope you are getting some serious Mardi
Gras partying done. It's been tough for
me to get going on it this year. The CD
had me so pre-occupied that this season
kind of snuck up on me. But, I will be
riding in the Southdowns Krewe again and
will get down to New Orleans for some
parades.
Here is some cool news:
On March
8th, I will open up for Royston Langdon
of the band, Space Hog, at the Varsity Theatre!
He will be doing a solo/acoustic set of
tunes from his band. (I hear he dates Liv
Tyler…no confirmation on her appearance..).
I will start around 9:45pm and will play
all my original tunes. Tickets are $8 and
are available at The Chimes or www.varsitytheatre.com.
All gigs are doing well
for me. I appreciate the loyal friends who
show up at all the new places. I have a
new regular gig on Tuesdays at Landry's
Seafood Ya-Ya, in the Kenilworth Shopping
Center. Scott Landry is going to change
that name soon and has a contest running
about that name change. Check into it and
come up with a new name for this nice little
restaurant. I play from 6pm - 9pm.
I'm still doing Sunday
nights at Spanky's Daiquiris in Prairieville,
and March is my month at the Bulldog in
New Orleans. I still want all my BR friends
to visit the Bulldog someday - LOVE IT!
Oh and hey, the New Orleans St. Patrick's
Day parade passes right in front of the
Bulldog on Saturday, March 15th. It is packed,
rowdy, and a great time! Think about it…..
On February 28th, I will
be making my yearly trek with the Krewe
of Southdowns Parade. The parade runs through
the Southdowns area, from Lee High School
to the Caterie, at 7pm - 10pm. Our float
is number 17 in line and we are named "Elvis
in Wonderland." The parade theme is
"Fractured Fairy Tales." I'll
be one of twelve various Elvi on the float.
My costume is still undecided at this point,
but I'll be on the passenger side. Check
out the route at www.southdowns.org.
Check out the article
regarding the new CD and myself in Rhythm
City Magazine in March. Thanks to Tommy
Comeaux for the publicity. CD sales are
going fine and I still have lots of promotions
and attempts at airplay coming up soon.
I will try to arrange another show with
the big band soon. I would love to hear
your true opinions, criticisms, comments,
and praise (hehe) for the CD. For example,
one fan said that my show is pretty upbeat,
but the CD was a little on the low-key side.
Not offensive to me at all. It's nice to
know what people think. You can write to
me or sign in on my guest book with any
ideas, thoughts, or other messages. I am
enjoying my CD more and more and am very
happy that I have completed that step in
my career. I hope to start writing some
more soon!
It's a great time of
year and I hope you are having fun and success.
Baseball is here….Parades are here….Crawfish
are here….Festivals are coming! Enjoy
this wonderful state and world we live in.
Pray for our soldiers and support our country.
Tough times don't survive….What we
do and what we are and who we are will always
survive!
Thanks to you,
Kirk
