Belated thank you

My wife and I saw you in Jackson Square in about 1992 and it was fantastic. I am a singer-songwriter and also love to play out for the folks. We own and operate a coffee house in SE Wisconsin. If you ever come to Northern Illinois or SE Wisconsin,we have connections to many fine venues. It would be wonderful to see you in this area someday.
Thank you. Your music in an inspiration.

Remember the time? Hi David and Roselyn. Remember leaving Autumn with me when you had a gig during the school year up North? I think of you from time to time when I pull out my old photos.Fiona is in college now. Played music up until child #3 was born. I'm thinking about jumping back in.Good to see you're still jamming.Hugs, Sandy

Greetings from chilly CT
Dear David & Roselyn,

I was fortunate enough to hear you on several occassions this past week while I was visiting New Orleans for the very first time. I was very impressed with your music. In reading some of the preceding messages, I see that your daughter goes to Yale. Is there any chance that you might someday be playing up here? Please, please, let me know if you are planning on doing so. I would love to hear you in person once again, as well as have all my friends and relatives have the opportunity to hear you.

Thank you so much for making my first trip to New Orleans so memorable.

Yours sincerely,

Harolyn J. Erickson

Dear David and Roselyn, I saw you on Broadway, in Baltimore, about fifteen years ago. We spoke , and you were an inspiration to me in my music, and working on the street. (I play flute.)Baltimore doesn't have much of a street scene, but a few of us are working on it. I am so glad that you are still playing, and congratulations on your anniversary .Thanks for all you have done.

Dear Aunt & Uncle, I just thought I'd tap out a few lines to you. I think about you when I hear joyful music playing. I hope all is going well for you. I am also thinking about visiting New Orleans at the end of this summer. I don't know if you guys will even be in the country, but I'll definitely keep you posted. Tell my cousins hello for me. I love you a lot!Your niece,

I got to play with them Kreig White here. While strolling with my family in The Quarter Sunday, I met these fabulous people. Ms Lionheard even had a banjo for me to play. "I Get The Blues When it Rains" never sounded so sweet. I want to thank Roselyn and David for setting me sit in. I would be delighted to do it again.

hi roselyn and david and happy n'year in n'awlins! it was a buzz to meet you in the french quarter, actually, run into you, with kitty as we wound around that sensational city. kitty bought two cd's and have started listening as well as reading charles kuralt's story on you guys. what material you have to share! it was a blast and well send you pics, if you like?? as a video producer, i'd love to maybe put something together on da ro, or write a story? what do you think? cheers from kittyandgordon@hotmail.com gordo

Creaky but breathing

I finally thought of the net to contact you. Irene and we talk about you frequently, especially as I am doing the entertainment programming for next summer. (Yes, we are still doing Sawdust). I presume there are half a dozen reasons why it would be difficult if not impossible for you to show up in Laguna, but think on it, and advise.I was going to try to hire Arlee, thinking she still might be bouncing around L.A, and it was gratifying to the max to find all that Arlee stuff that Google belched forth... so, she is out of reach also, congrats to her.Send me an email address, so I can extemporize as loquaciously as is my wont.We have been in Flagstaff for twelve years (gasp!). It ain't just the home of the Blues. (Those Hopi and Navajo may be close to the Spirit, but they don't synchopate). When we go to Laguna, we infest Dave Cross's loft like church mice.How's Stormy. Big, we bet.You may know we lost Rodney a couple of years ago. Not so many laughs around the show anymore. He knew better, but sauced himself into an early demise.

Long Time No See Hi, David and Roselyn,

Haven't seen you in ages! I keep meaning to get in touch with Arlee, too. (I'm gonna have to, because I'll be in NYC between Christmas & New Years.) I think of you often, though, and I've worn out all my old cassettes of your music, back from the old Santa Cruz and Aspen days. I gotta buy the CD's now! Anyway, I am sending my friend Andy to look you up since he's in New Orleans now. I hope he catches you--I've been telling him how great you are, and what wonderful people too.

Hope all is well with you. If you ever make it through Tucson, look me up! (kali@kalital.com).

Much love,Kali Kali Tal

December 09, 2002

David and Roselyn,

from your Paris Pal

David and Roselyn,

Great to find you on the web and that you're still going strong!This is your longstanding fan (Venice beach circa 1980 -- my God has it been that long?) and, happy coincidence, Paris circa 1992. It's time for our 10-year rendezvous again... when are you coming back to France? Jean Jean O'Sullivan May 09, 2002

I read so many reviews about your CD.I was wondering where can I get a coy of your cd there is so much that I don't even know about you cousin in Flint,MI. When are you coming to Flint to perform? We do have a Jazz Festival in August. It would be awsome for you and Arlee to perform . Your cousin DeborahSharni@EXCITE.COM Sharni@excite.com May 09, 2002

Hi, My name is Roselyn too. The funny thing is my husband's name is David! We went on the internet and for fun punched in our names and were amazed that this site came up. It is such a funny coincidence!! Roselyn

Aunt Roselyn & Uncle David! Hey, this is my very first time going to your website. It is really nice and I am sharing it with my students. I am very proud. I also just got an email from Arlee. That's how I got to your website. Hopefully, I will see you guys again soon. I love you!Melonie Joyce Melonie March 18, 2002

Bahia, Brazil

Hey I'm back in black. And I ain't giving you no slack. Hope the gig is a hit, in other words enjoy it. I've seen the house on Kenilworth and passed it many times in my travels to Clark. Now I know where but don't know how. Remember the Social clubs, Golden Leaf etc., and such stores like Davis's next to the community center where I got my first immunization shots? And when was the last time that you seen Clark School? When I was there in Flint in 2000, a part of it was still up for sale. Well so much to still do and I want to still perform with Arlee (if she will let me) at Snug Harbor next Wednesday Feb. 27,2002. Peace and Love and Happiness!Count Zhango Bop CountZBop@aol.com February 21, 2002

back at last

My daughter and I saw you about two hours before we left New Orleans four years ago. She bought a CD and I bought a tape, which we have played over and over. Thought of you many times and wished that I could have seen more of you. You know how it is living your daily life. Have not had a chance to go on ANY vacation since then. Well, finally I get to get away from San Francisco to come to New Orleans the end of this month. I will be looking for you down at Jackson Square, where you were when I was there last. I hope that you will be there. You were a highlight of my trip last time!!! You have brought many hours of enjoyment with your music. Thank you so much!!! eugenia February 02, 2002

Always a pleasure to hear you!

I have been a frequent visitor to New Orleans for many years. The city has a magic and an allure that always brings me back. Perhaps one day I'll live there. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy hearing you guys, and how good it is to see you performing on the street or in the square, whenever I return. Your beautiful sound and warmth personifies the great sound of New Orleans. When I first started going regularly to Jazz Fest, I was sitting in Jackson Square (my favorite pastime, when I visit), and that is when I heard you for the first time. It was my first night in town after several years, and just kicking back, listening to your great tunes, made me feel great, and at home. Someone requested "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?", and hearing you play that at that moment was very special for me. I wish you both continued success. Your website is great...I had no idea you had one. Interesting to hear about all the places you've been. And 40 years married! Wow! What can I say....congratulations!! I anxiously await my next trip to N.O. in November, and I hope to see you once again. All the best from Key West, Florida (would be great if you can swing down here some time...you'd do great).

Take care,

BRUCE

Excellent Performers

Hey Roselyn & David,Caught the end :-( of you show on Tuesday the 29th of August at the Oregon State Fair. Wish I had known about you or found you earlier in the day instead of 8:30 PM.I am the one who was in the wheelchair and asked you about the song "Ico". I've begun my letter writing campaign to the fair committee and will send you copies of them as promised. I've been going through your website and it's great----except-----why no music background?? I would have thought you of all people would have a midi or wave background.....have to work on that ;>) Gotta' run for now, will e-mail you later as I have some questions for you which are not music related. Wonderful performance and great voices and songs !!!!

Hello, David and Roselyn. My wife and I always try to stop and say hello in the square or at the fest. This year was no exception. Saw and greeted you both during Bob French's set "under the tent." Our only disappointment was not "hearing" you both. I very much enjoyed browsing your website. I appreciate what you both do for NOLA. PS--We have an apartment on Gov. Nicholls by Verte Marte. Hope to see you next trip.PSS--My daughters (4) always remember you both by the song, "When I Get Drunk, Who's Gonna Carry Me Home!"

My daughter and I happened upon david and roselyn on our last run through the french quarter just before we had to leave to go catch our plane. maybe it was leaving the best for last! countless hours have been spent listening to the tape and cd that we bought. each time the "joyful noise" is celebrated, i think of the last hours in the french quarter -- and when i can return. if david and roselyn EVER come to the san francisco bay area, please please please let me know. eugenia
September 19, 2000

SAW YOU! I heard your trio for the first time just last Sunday, October 29. I am the lady with red hair who stopped on the street corner and talked to the bass player and also bought a tape. The jazz style you were playing that day is truly my favorite---melodic, sultry, and relaxing. All of you play your instruments beautifully and Roslyn---you have such an unusual, mellow voice---suited perfectly for jazz. I love those tambourines on the floor, too!Will be back in New Orleans at Thanksgiving and will check your schedule.Go glad I finally found a jazz group I like. I am sure you can play any form of jazz, but what I heard Sunday I particularly like!Good luck to all! Anna DuTerroil December 01, 2000

Hello! My wife and I have been in New Orleans in March 1999. In front of the Cathedral we happened upon you and enjoined your music (and buyed your CD's, too). I've taken a pair of pictures during your performance: I will send them to you by e-mail immediately. Bye.Gianni and OrnellaVarese - Italy Giovanni Corda

December 28, 2000

Thank you David and Roselyn: I was strolling down Royal on Saturday with the girl I love, not two days after Thanksgiving, and the soundtrack to our walk was Silent Night, played on a trumpet. The moment my love and I shared as that crystal clear trumpet soaked the street was one of the most beautiful of my life. On Sunday, we were lucky enough to catch an impromtu cameo from a carraigeman who joined you all in a blues progression from his hadsome cab. That moment made me very happy. Wow. Thank you, both for those memories and may your holidays be filled with joy and happiness.

Sincerely,Brian

PS: Can you reccommend one of your albums that captures that down-home, no foolin', got-to-be-real blues. Something that captures Roselyn's voice at its most expressive and poingant?My eamil is leipzig25@hotmail.com

Do you perform in between LA and L.A.? There are a couple of places here that might be good venues.You can find a bit on me @ www.azrhythmconnnection.com

Saw you in '87 I saw you at a street fair in Tucson (March '87). I played your tape for years until it finally broke several years ago. I came across the cassette case while cleaning a drawer and decided to search the net to see if you were still around. What a nice surprise to find you web site! Hope you and your family are all well. You have given me another reason to go visit New Orleans. Your performance was the most memorable event of my trip, and I was there two months. I really look forward to seeing you again.

Hey Moms & Pops!!! I know, not your preferred names, but it's me, your lovely daughter, writing from my web tv here in Dubai at 6am, when I should be sleeping! So nice to see my parents lovely faces on my tv screen! I just wish the system here would let me play your videos and hear your music. Yes, in my rush to leave New York I wasn't able to grab the CDs I wanted to take on this middle east journey, and I have none of your groovy sounds around. Well, other than in spirit and in my head!! Everytime I sing Summertime I think of you two on either side of me and us all performing it together. I'll see you in New Orleans for Jazz Fest! Mother, book those gigs now!!!Love, ArleeFor the curious, check out:http://jumeirah-beach.com (Emirates Towers in the Oh! Cajun to see where I'm singing).For those who want to check out the sounds of this wonderful couple's daughter (and yeah, I learned self-promotion from Roselyn!!!) check out my cd "Wild Honey" at:

Great street performances are really gripping! I came back for more, bringing my friend - yesterday you had two math teachers absorbed. Tonight I'm back home in Brooklyn and just finished listening to the CD I bought from you. (Do you remember a slightly English accent two days ago?) I admire you for constructing such a satisfying life - for yourselves, and for your audience. I'm sure that I'll have to have the other CD's when my budget recovers from my trip to New Orleans. Ros

David and Roselyn!

Of course, I would find you on the web in the millineum!! I first "discovered" you and your music at the Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach......way back when. And went to see you at the Tempe Festival several times. I just want you to know that your music has touched me and is a positive, wonderful expression! My daughter was fed a steady diet of your music throughout her life (she's 18 now) and I still cherish my original tapes and play them often. The first song that I ever heard you two perform was 'Chicago". And has become my favorite (if that is possible to choose a favorite!!).Wow! I'm so glad to see that you are still going stronger than ever! I love you two! Thank you so much for doing what you do!Love,Love,Love and Bliss,
