I had the distinct honor and privilege of sitting in on guitar with Doreen's group for a full two hour set while I was in New Orleans this past April (their regular guitarist Dave was out on tour). I was immediately struck by her sincerity, her warm and welcoming spirit, and the way music flowed between everyone playing as though we'd actually rehearsed. It was by far the highlight of my New Orleans vacation, an incomparable experience, and ultimately tipped the scales and made me decide to uproot my entire life to move to NOLA. All I have to say is this: "About. Damn. Time". For both Doreen AND Lawrence, who is an unsung hero and innovator in his own right. See you soon, Dr. Ketchens and Dr. Ketchens. Let's jam sometime? :)
Doreen, from one clarinet player to another, you are a GODDESS on clarinet!!! I aspire to have even a smidgen of your talent ❤ Congrats to you & your husband, such a talented family a VERY well-deserved honor!!
The Ketchens started their practice on a lowly street corner many years ago. People from far and near heard of their medicine. They came with all kinds of aches and pains and Ketchens cured them all. Word spread and people took notice of their ancient medicinal practice with no side effects. They would improvise and come up with different concoctions each one better than the other. They stood on their corner through all kinds of weather, hurricane, storms, pandemic you name it all their office was open and the people kept coming; and now that corner has grown to be their walk on clinic. Visitors can get their Prescription CDs and Referral LPs from Board Certified Doctors. I can't wait to write home and tell Ma and Pa.
So glad I found your channel some years ago. The joy, the quality, the brilliance. Swedish listening in China. I hope you also get the Polar prize in Music. Thank You.
Congratulations Doctors! Doreen, I love your encouragement to our future musicians. Playing the clarinet was so important in my younger days. You are the only person I know that shares a birthday, October 5th, with me! ❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing your talents!!!
Congratulations Doreen! What a wonderful and so very deserved recognition..... 🤢🙌🏿💅🏿👩🏿⚕️ Call Dr Doreen cause those clarinet jams are SICK! 😅🎺🎶 Such a well and justly awarded acclamation. 🏆 I do hope you are able to impart your wisdom and tutelage unto the musicians of tomorrow... as undoubtedly, you ma'am; are a shining star that inspires - beyond music and an authentic New Orleans heartbeat, but as an incredible woman and inspiration for all. Again, Dr Ketchens, congratulations... and Thank You Ma'am - for so much 🥳😁👏🏻
Words that will resonate for me until the day I breathe my last breath: "Recognition is a wonderful thing, and it takes a while somethimes. But it's absolutely one of the best things in the world. It doesn't come easy and it doesn't come in your time." Words to live by!!! Congratulations Dr and Dr Ketchens
I too had the pleasure to sit in with Doreen on a cold December day. Doreen is a welcoming friendly person whose warmth equals her extraordinary musicianship. What fun I had that morning.
Congratulations a very well earned mark of your professional achievements 👏 👍🏼 😀 👌 🙌 😊 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️ I love that you are still to be found performing music in its most natural space, on the streets, available to others on the streets with you 🎶 🎵 🥰
Qué privilegio es vivir en la misma época de éste ángel que vino a la Tierra a traer felicidad a nuestros corazones, Dios te bendice siempre, Doreen. Un abrazo desde Caracas para toda la familia.
Doreen and Lawrence thank you so much! You have given so much and we have so needed the joy and love you emanate. I am crying and smiling so much watching this and never have I needed it more. SO cool to see you beautifully recognized - got to be the greatest commencement ever - lucky students!
Absolutely love you Doreen. A treasure to the music world. Never knew the clarinet could sound the way it does when you play. All the best doreen ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Congratulations to you both, Doctor Ketchens & Doctor Ketchens! ~Sara & Ivy in Madison, Wisconsin (Where 13 year old Ivy is teaching me, her 52 year old mama, to play clarinet! Fun!! 😁)
Hi Doreen! I've been commenting for a while now, I am a clarinet student from South Africa, I watched all your tutorial videos and i really enjoyed them! I just wanted to know if it was possible to do a tutorial on vibrato, because I'm really struggling to understand how you do it. Much love from me and my family! -Levi
So proud of you "Lady Louie" I think I may have been the one to give you the name "Lady Louie" never forget the first day I saw you with my wife and I told you your were forever to be known as Lady Louie 😍😍
What an honor to be able to play with you Dr. Ketchens! Thank you for the opportunity. God bless 😊
