May, 2007 Dear Fiends, Many of our band members are back in New Orleans and we have been performing regularly on the Creole Queen Paddlewheeler. Many of the private parade functions for weddings and corporate events have begun to come back. We are in dire need of more tourists and corporate events. Plain and simple, small companies such as mine thrive with the tourist and convention market. The negative publicity on crime in the city is just that - negative publicity. The problem areas are in the residential suburbs where drugs are being distributed and sold ... just the same as any other city in the world. The tourist areas (French Quarter, Central Business District, Convention Center, Warehouse District, Uptown, Garden District and others) where we perform are just as safe as any other tourist area in any major city. We need your help and assistance to support the economy by coming to visit and having your trade show, conventions and corporate events take place in New Orleans. Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you in New Orleans.
November, 2005 Dear Friends, Hello and thank you for visiting the New Orleans Spice jazz band site. We certainly appreciate all the emails and support from all our friends worldwide. Right now all we can say is what a mess! We will rebuild and move forward in the city we love and we are trying our best to get through this tremendously tough situation as best as possible. Most of my band members are still scattered throughout the country in Houston, Atlanta, Memphis, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle and other locations. A number of us are still in the surrounding New Orleans area and we are performing! As of May, 2006 The Creole Queen is now scheduling the regular dinner jazz cruises and we are performing from 7:00 to 10:00pm as needed. Please let us know if there are any performances out of town that we can be considered for. I am trying my best to keep New Orleans musicians working and performing and we are available to fly in for performances worldwide. My main telephone service is now working with call forwarding to my cell phone. 504-283-3786 office
