46

I turned 46 yesterday. I got a haircut. The girls were off of school and wanted to go see the new Adam Sandler movie "Bedtime Stories", so we went. I had spent part of an evening hanging out with Adam many years ago and the girls had questions about that. Aside from spending too much time in line to get popcorn, it was a good time. After, we ordered some pizza from a place called The Redfish. Yummy. Then we had a little birthday celebration. Frederick sang a song about a monkey. It was a good time.

Teresa's Birthday

Yesterday I performed a kids show for the birthdays of my niece Teresa and her friend Isabella. Practically everyone there was bilingual French/English so it was pretty interesting. Although I don't have any french songs, I spoke to them in my fractured franglais. The show went pretty well. The weather was perfect.

After the performance, me and Lauren had an intersting conversation with a french lady that works for the consulate.

Sidenote: From where I am standing in the picture, it is about 30 yards from the New Orleans Fairgrounds, where the Jazzfest takes place. I am facing the Fairgrounds, where a chain link fence seperates it from the property I am on.

Bernadette's Birthday

Tonight we celebrated Bernadette's birthday with family and friends. We also celebrated Frederick's again while we were at it. The May 2 Greatest Day celebration was immediate family only.
Bernadette had a great time and enjoyed playing with friends and cousins.

I made my debut as a children's entertainer, performing 2 original kid songs and one cover. I wore a funny Groucho glasses/mustache disguise for one of them. Then Colette made her singing debut, performing a classic CCR tune with me on guitar and Lauren on drums. It went over really well, and I had an offer to play another show!

I was really proud of Colette. She did a good job and didn't seem nervous at all. We worked the song out in just a few days with very limited rehearsal time.

I was very happy for Bernadette too. It turned out to be a very special day for her.
I'll try to post some pics here in the next few days as well as uploading Colette's performance. In the meantime enjoy "Macaroni The Super Pony"
