Pisces Party 2011 Benefits Haiti's Youth

"Pisces are creative people.Pisces always make great friends and soulmates. Pisces are extremely loyal and caring. Pisces often possess uncanny intuitive or psychic abilities"

"The arts, marketing, music, teaching, drama, healing arts...these are all fields in which Pisces can find expression. Their imagination, attunement to humanity, and remarkable intuition endow them with enviable gifts of insight and creativity."




Many born within this sign tend to gravitate towards the Arts because of our love for beauty and all things spiritual and ethereal which can be best achieved through some medium in the Arts. Famous Pisces folks include: MichaelAngelo, Copernicus, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elizabeth Taylor, Kurt Cobain, Fats Dominoe, Johnny Cash, Quincy Jones,Liza Minelli, Albert Einstein, Queen Latifah, Jack Kerouac, Nat King Cole, Anais Nin, Drew Barrymore and Bruce Willis just to name a few. Not bad company to be included in.

On Tuesday March 1st, 2011 beginning at 8 p.m. at the Blue Nile on Frenchmen Street, all Pisces and Pisces Lover's/Friends are invited to Celebrate the qualities of this last sign of the Horoscope. I am purposely choosing to ignore that new horoscope! This being the First Annual Pisces Party the event will be one not easily forgotten! At only a $5.00 cover charge, the event is sure to leave you satisfied.




The Party includes an all star Pisces Band including Sam Price on Bass (from Honey Island Swamp Band & Otra), Eric Bolivar on Drums (Bonerama, Anders Osborne), Greg Hicks on Trombone (Bonerama), John Bagnato on Guitar (from the N.O. Heritage School of Music), Kristina Morales (Jazz vocals) and Loren Murrell (vocals and Guitar). This is just the core group of musicians not counting many special guests invited to share the stage with this amazingly talented group of artists who are all generously donating their time to a very worthy cause and just because it's sure to be a good time.

Proceeds from the Pisces Party 2011 will go to benefit the Haitian Youth Music Relief (www.haitianyouthmusicrelief.org) Fund led by Haitian Loyola Professor Dr. Jean Montes. This organization was featured on the front cover of the Gambit a few weeks ago and the idea was born to incorporate them into the party. The Haitian Youth Music Relief Fund gathers donations, music instruments, music books and supplies for the youth in Haiti. Due to the devastation caused by the massive Earthquake, Haiti is still trying to recover needing their basic needs met such as housing, food and shelter however there are a few things like the arts which will make all of Haiti feel like Human Beings again. Music always has the power to transform the soul by providing sheer joy in the form of musical notes. In New Orleans we take music very personal realizing all too well exactly what our brothers and sisters in Haiti are going through after struggling to recover from our own natural disaster.



As stated in their website; "A musician's instrument is a means of expression, a tool for connecting with others, and an old friend in times of tragedy. Music is a healing energy like no other and we can join together to provide this type of "medicine" to help heal the children who are suffering in Haiti." Again a sentiment understood best in a city like New Orleans known for making the best out of our worst times with the help of music.



The event will also include food donated by various Pisces folks, games and of course King Cakes since it is after all also Carnival time! Be part of a wonderful party benefitting an even greater cause. Someone once told me that part of our lot in life is to help others as much as we can because we are ALL ultimately connected. I believe in this to my core and what a better to extend a helping way than through music.
