New Twelfth Gate RAWKS!!!!

NOTES:
Mrs. Doreen M.J. Ketchens - (Queen Clarinet) - You have never heard a clarinet played like this before! She wows people of all ages, races and from all over the world on a dailey bases in Jackson Square. Once you have seen and heard her whaling clarinet live, you will never forget being stung by the Queen Bee of the Clarinet!
Mr. Lawrence H. Ketchens - (King Tuba) - The Flashy, Charismatic and Clean Bubbley perfected style of this Tuba Man is unparalled! He is the Man on the Tuba that everyone wants to attempt to sound like without giving credit. His flowing lines and articulated soulful support is original and has changed the way the Tuba is played by players in New Orleans and around the world.
Mrs. Mari Watanable - This very modest and brilliant keyboardist came to New Orleans in 1985 with music on her mind. Though she is already fluent in style and grace, she still insist on bettering her playing by studying with Rodger Dickerson. She has played with many locals such as Walter Payton, Tuba Fats and others, as well as with brass bands like Olympia, her soft and sensitive touch is the perfect compliment to this ensemble.
Mr. Frederick Sheppard - Oh boy, he may be crazy but he's Great! So full of feeling and soul, with technique that turns even jealous head. Frederick Sheppard is a Sax Master. Often overlooked but never lacking in expertise. Upon leaving the studio Shep said "Thank You"; Well Mr. Sheppard, the pleasure is all mine.
Leon Brown - This young talented NOCCA graduate is holding his own in the music world. With so much competition on his instrument, you have to be great just to be respected as a trumpet player. Well, he is that and more. Even with the disadvantage of being called at the last minute, Leon came saw, then played his natural butt off.
Jerry Anderson - From a family of musicians such as Paul Barbarin and Danny Barker to name a few, comes one of it's youngest and funkiest. The energetic and soulfoul sounds of this drumming machine gives the impression that he is much older. This is the man who is always ready to play and play well; never cracking under pressure and always stickin' dem drums.

Yea, I enjoy 'Summoning' as well. I think the new one blows it's doors off though. Rob told me they are talking about coming out to Washington and the west coast, so that will be cool.

Hey, thanks for the compliments on their new site. Much appreciated.:)
