In Memory of our friend

We mourn and grieve the loss of our dear friend:

Dennis Boudreaux

 

Our warmest and deepest sympathies go out to the family of Dennis Boudreaux - famed Fiddler of the Savoir Faire Cajun Band who passed away early New Year's Morning following his performance at the Baton Rouge CFMA New Year's party. He died of a massive heart attack just after packing up all the gear. Dennis will be surely be missed!  Please remember his children, survivors and loved ones in your prayers.

The funeral arrangements were as follows:

 

We will miss you Dennis- God Bless your family in this time of grief, sorrow, and mourning!

18th Annual Beale Street Zydeco Fest PHOTOS

Memphis, TN - Feb 23 & 24, 2007  Back to the top

The Beale Street Zydeco Festival is two nights this year: Friday & Saturday, Feb 23-24th, plus some events on Sunday, Feb 25th.  Beale Street is Memphis’ own version of Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  Both sides of the street are lined with night clubs and music venues.  For the festival, the city blocks off traffic down Beale and each of the clubs along Beale Street hosts a different zydeco band.  One single price ($10 Friday, $15 Saturday) gets you a wristband that will get you into any and all of the clubs.   Food and drink are also for sale at the clubs.

"We are looking for volunteers to help decorate Beale Street Clubs for the Zydeco Festival.  If you are in Memphis on Thursday night we would love to have you join us.  We meet on Thursday night around 7pm at Club Handy.  In return for your efforts we serve BBQ sandwiches, chips, cokes and BYOB (buy your own beer).  We will also do a little Zydeco CD dancing.   Each person that participates will receive a free wristband for the festival.  Let me know if you can help, we want to make sure that we have enough BBQ's." -Debbie

 MEET & GREET

Pat O'Brien's, upstairs in the 'Private Briars Suite' starting around 4pm (Friday 2-23-07), until the dance lessons.

Pat O'Brien's is letting us use their 'Private Briars Suite' upstairs. This is a large dining/dancing room w/full bar area, both rooms have a nice wood floor for dancing and balcony area w/tables.  Pat O'Brien's is supplying the beads for us to throw off the balcony.   Regular menu is available for a small group.  If we have 30+ to show up we will need to order off a special menu.  So if we spread the word I just need an idea of how many might show up, to let the manager know the numbers.  And we are not obligated to order food.  Pat O'Brien's is also letting us play our own CD's.  Do you have any requests?

Pat O's Limited Menu Available
