    Doreen became a friend when I lived in New Orleans. She and her family played in the street near my work. I was stunned hearing her the first time .. .and every time thereafter. She is a mother, a grandmother and a friend to all who know her. She's started her grandchildon percussion right there on Royal Street. When not playing, she's got that little one right there doing homework! When I moved from New Orlans (The home of my heart), I saw her and said good by - waving from my car. She stopped playing came over and reached in giving me a hug (and a CD for the road) and said, I lovey you, God loves you. What better way to be sent off on my next adventure.

    • @journeyer58
      @journeyer58 6 років тому +8

      Towards the end, that one note she must have held for almost 2 minutes. She has amazing lungs and carries herself so well. I'd pay her and the tuba player along with the drummer to record the old songs that jazz was playing back in the 30's and 40's. I wouldn't care about the cost or if the recording made money, it would be an honour to have Doreen record songs that I grew up with and listened to most
      of my life.

    This lady shares her gift from God openly and freely to anyone who will simply listen. I happened upon her one Sunday morning walking to Cafe du Mon and was stopped in my tracks. This soulful spiritual rocks you to your core and force you to pause, and be thanks to God from which this talent comes. I bought her CD and searched later to learn that she was an accomplished artist, not surprised but felt even more grateful for having witnessed her humility on display and all I could do was smile.

    Doreen Ketchens and her little ensemble have got it all. Their amazing control of their instruments (their lungs) and the musical instruments is one that can hardly be duplicated and will come around only once in a generation.
    Benny Goodman was just such a person. He had the breath control of an opera singer and the mastery of his
    instrument that hardly anyone could compare to. This is now my favourite music video and will be for a long time.

      So glad you discoverd Doreen and thanks for watching. Wow, Carnegie Hall, I guess when a musician made it to Carnegie Hall, that´s an achievement. Never been there but that´s what ppl say...

      @@bucaneromax1 I found it when I search for her name. My understanding is she was interviewed by PBS and she said that playing at Carnegie Hall was her dream they helped make it happen! She’s also performed at other beautiful big music venues. she has a website where you can buy her music directly. I need to do that soon.

    You don't have to know squat about music to know that this woman's clarinet is the definition of PERFECTION.
    And I don't know how anyone can walk by this. I don't care where you're going or what you have to do -- it won't save your soul the way Doreen can.

    Ric is from NOLA, and lived in the Pontalba on Jackson Square for 35+ years before Katrina in 2005. He remembers Doreen with great fondness. Hope to hear her in person, playing there on Royal Street, when hubby and I return to New Orleans for good, in 2019...He will be coming back to his beloved home. Of the two of us..I'll be the NOLA-newbie. But hey you know what? I already love this wonderful City..and can't wait to get here, and kick off my 'big city shoes", and Second Line!!! 285 DISLIKES?? Oh, dear...Those mental irregulars must be having their annual membership drive...

      Thanks for the post.
      The first time i heard this song was at Preservation Hall, january 1974, Sweet Emma Barrett singing and playing piano with all those great old cats. Great times, man, great times !
      Nice to meet you. Bucaneromax1.

      Hi Fabio, sorry for the late answer! Are you kidding me, you heard Sweet Emma Barrett??? I envy you! Just saw an old video of her, thinking wow...I wanted to see her live...and Lizzy Miles, too! Julia from Austria :-D

    • @fabioreal3353
      @fabioreal3353 10 років тому +1

      Yes my friend.
      It was january 6, 1974 ,when I had the privilege to see and hear Sweet Emma Barrett and her Preservation Hall Jazz Band with all these old cats at Preservation Hall NO.
      I bought an LP there and a folder named Old Jazz ,with 6 beautiful lithographs, made by an artist named McBride, of Sweet Emma, Blanche Thomas, George Lewis , Albert "Papa"French, Wildren "Frog"Joseph an a New Orleans Function of a NO Parade Band.
      40 ys. later I remember this night, as today. After the show ,my pregnant wife and me returned to the Holliday Inn Hotel walking by the streets feeling and flavoring the rich sounds and people of French Quartier.
      We are still happy remembering this.
      That's Life. " Memories are made of This " !

Well, thanks for sharing your memories with us...I´ll check the artists you mentioned. At least here in Austria hardly anybody knows them...:-( Have a nice day!
