This was a good nite. I was able to get the famous Danny Fletcher, professional recording engineer, and an expert man on the editing machine to work with me. We got 12 songs in the editor. Only 16 more to go. The sound is pretty good. We will bring up the volume level at the end of the editing. The only bad thing is the guitars were not miked and they are really on the low side.The balance is good. Next time I will Mike the guitars and stick a mike in boos mouth to bring up his volume.Wont be long people till it's completed....JOE LEE

I hit New Orleans Thursday afternoon. The Secretary of "The Westbank Musicians Hall Of Fame" called that morning when she heard I was coming to town.

I asked her to get me a gig. She called back 20 minutes later and said you can play with Ronnie Boudreaux, Hector, Skeeter and others Friday night in Crown Point at the Welcome Inn near Lafitte La. You can also play Saturday night with Ricky Hanks (my Cousin who plays tenor sax), Duane Sherb and others at "The Max" off of Clearview Ave in New Orleans. My whole family just about showed up at The Max. Even my 87 year old mother danced an up tempo tune with my brother-in-law.

Sunday I played on Charters Street on the street corner at a friends Art Gallery in the heart of the French Quarter.

Monday night I played with a Tenor Sax buddy from 1957 or there about. He's never had a day gig. He played at the "Spotted Cat" on Frenchman Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

He could be in the top five or ten Jazz Swing genre living Tenor Sax players alive today. No kidding, he scares the hell out of me. I just did maybe 4 or 5 tunes with this guy and then sat down and listened.

You won't hear any wrong choices of notes from Jerry Jumonville no matter what tune at any tempo. He's great. I'm going to go listen to him tonight Wednesday. He called to tell me where he's playing.

I'm gonna bring my horn in case he invites me to play. Maybe I'll do 5 tunes tonight. Maybe I'll be so terriffied I won't even play one tune. This guy is a musician's musician. He plays too many notes for the common folk. Ha! Ha!
