Wow! That's all I can say! I was coming out of Brennan's on Sunday (July 27th) and there you were - filling the air with that New Orleans' sound!! Woman can you ever play!!! My friend and I listened for awhile. We had places to go and hated to leave you and the band. We are still talking about the experience. She regrets not getting a cd...but...I see you have them available. I will be placing an order! Keep blessing the people with your music!! Thanks for sharing your gift!

We ran into Doreen & family on a side street outside Jackson Square back in early March. My husband bought her CD a couple of years ago & we have enjoyed it greatly. We all talked about her coming north during the summer months. We want to know if you're going to be anywhere near Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Lancaster, PA, or Iowa (early July), or South Dakota (mid-July), Washington State (Seattle area) this summer. Do you have a calendar of concerts available online? Please send to me at e-mail address above. Thanks!

Doreen-

We were in NO this past weekend and stopped to listened to you play the street on Sunday. We had been in town since Friday, but I really didn't really get into it until I heard you play. I could have listened all day. Carla & I bought your "The Blues" CD and I have listened to it at least ten times this week. We will be back for Jazzfest and wanted to know if you are playing anywhere specific for both Jazzfest weekends. I'm learning to play sax, but have a new appreciation for the clarinet. I have always loved it, but you make the music come alive.


Thanks so much for making my weekend!

You just go, girl!!!! Your talent is truly a gift from God. As I see and listen I am always reminded of those fateful evenings you tortured us with your practice. I am so grateful that you just kept on practicing. Mommy didn't have a musical background, but her faith in God and you has made a difference in all of us. As they say in the baptist church you just keep on keeping on!!!

We just love you and there ain't nothing you can do about it (smile)

You appear to be getting better and better all the time. The long notes that you both hold had me gasping for air, and I was just watching. My prayer is for the Lord to bring you out of obscurity and into His promise for your beautiful music ministry. He would not have brought you together for you not to bless thousands and thousands more. I sent the podcast to several family members, as well. Again, "WOW!!".Peace.

Just returned from New Orleans, where I travel freguently, lived twice in my life and where my daughter was born. Anyway, I heard you play on Royal Street yesterday and purchased two CD's. Am listening to them now and they are GREAT! The music, the arrangement, your talent and the professionalism of the CD is outstanding. I feel very fortunate to have literally stumbled across you and your band. I hope to hear you play live again some time.

It is a real joy to hear someone with your talent representing the true tradition of New Orleans jazz music!

Thanks so much for those very kind words. I'm very glad to have met all of you and played together last weekend, that made my first trip to New Orleans very special. It definitely makes me happy to help great musicians sound their best. I'll be happy to take care of any of your instruments whenever you like. We'll be sure to call you next time we're in your town.

Hi Doreen,
This e-mail got through just fine. We think of you often and hope all is well. We would love to see you this August. Your corner in Portsmouth is crying your names. The church is completed and construction is over.
How have you all been? I was so happy to hear from you at Christmas. Bill was disappointed he wasn't here to listen in. We both felt so badly about Lawrence's mother. As you know, it is so hard to lose a parent. It takes a while for the reality to sink in and then more time to completely forgive yourself for things you wished you'd said or done, but when in actuality you may not have had much control over.
How is our little Dorian? Please send us a picture of her if you have one. We think she is adorable. You have a babysitter in NH if you come back.
We love and miss you all
Jeanne & Bill and of course "Rosie"

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. I finally got a small cure for my Doreens New Orleans jazz "fix"! Sure missed you coming through Dubuque this year. Any plans to come back this way?

I've got a question for you. The first year I saw you play here in Blades Auditorium on the University of Dubuque campus, you had an older gentleman, I believe his name was Tony, playing the drums. He was funny, charismatic, and quite the "lady's man"! Does he still play with you occasionally?

Best wishes to all of you, and I hope to enjoy your wonderful music back here in the midwest sometime soon! (If you come back even to Chicago, or Kansas City, let me know. We're only 3 hours from Chicago and 6 from Kansas City. I am from Kansas City and look for any excuse I can to go back down there. A visit from you, Lawrence, and your band would definitely be a reason to make the trip).

Love,
Terri

Hi again, Doreen,

I just wanted to congratulate you on the spectacular video.

You are both SO talented! I wish I could have downloaded it to keep, but it appears they have disabled the downloading feature.

I particularly loved "Just A Closer Walk With Thee."

I passed the video link on to Andrea's mom, Lisa, so you can expect to hear from her soon.

Please keep us posted on the going-ons in your life...we'd love to stay in touch with you.

Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you so much Doreen. This e-mail is going to be a bit difficult to write------because the English language has a limited number of superlatives. I had started listening and about half way through the first number Char came running from the other end of the house, said "Oh Wow", sat on the floor and didn't move till the end. We both got cold chills and tears of joy listening to you and Lawrence. You both look and sound wonderful!!!!
I don't know how the best get better but you and Lawrence both seemed to have improved your playing wonderfully(and I believe your story about the repairs but ain't buying that's the reason you sound so much better.) You two are just the best!!!

Love you both,
Jim and Char

I am watching your concert for the second time today. I am amazed all over again. A beautiful place made even more beautiful by you and your music. I hope your trip was good, your clarinet looks like it has recovered and is better than ever. We are working on the Saturday venue. I will call you over the weekend about it.



Nothing else is happening here except that we are going to get some kind of storm tonight including ice. It could affect the power. Hopefully it won’t be too bad.



Take care,



Nancy
