Seeking anyone who enjoys making music with their mouth like Bobby McFerrin. Do you sing, whistle, or beat box? Actual instruments are NOT needed, but skilled musicians are still welcome. I hope to unite a mix of interesting people and styles for a recording and performance project. Most beat box is like rap or pop beats, so maybe we can take it to a new level with big band classics or jazz standards. I would value any feedback so we can get this group started. Thank you ~Gino Jazz

I'm from New Orleans and love New Orleans food and music, so I thought this would be fun. The purpose of the group will be to cook New Orleans food, eat it, hear New Orleans music, dance a little and maybe even costume! Anyone who loves New Orleans Food, Music, Culture, Parades, and Mardi Gras can join.
