Hello Randy,

Of course I miss your band. These guys are a nice bunch. I played with Jacques Gauthe when he visited Toronto in 1995.

@FatsJazzCats Y'all go to New Orleans to see white European guys

try to play black jazz?

You be VERY HAPPY now since Katrina then, 'cause they done

LOCKED OUT most of the African-American folks from N.O. for good.

Their homes been BULLDOZERED and rich developers took the

lots and built HIGH PRICE CONDOS where all them great black

native N.O. musicians used to live.

Have fun now, y'hear? Say hi to Mickey Mouse in N.O. Disneyland.

(Watch it, though. Last I checked Mickey Mouse is BLACK).

Merci pour cette musique et tous les chorus de mon ami Jacques. Là, je suis sûr qu'il joue sur la vieille Centered Tone. Les suivantes sonnaient bien, surtout la 9G qui l'a accompagné jusqu'à la fin, mais la CT, je la connais trop.

Tu as swingué, mon ami. Repose-toi, je passerai te voir.

Hey folks - this is one of my favorite NOLA bands - and I enjoy seing my friend Jaques Gauthé who years ago gave me his old Selmer SopranoSax which I've been playing ever since - sometimes together with him and Jamey Whight at the Fritzel's European Jazzclub on Bourbon. Jaques and me we wanted to have a reunion in Ascona - but on the way there he died at home. Fats von Gerolstein
