Debbie Davis is old school - Gambit Weekly

About Me

"Of all the New Orleans vocalists pursuing the retro torch singer route, Ms. Davis is the most convincing because shes got the powerful pipes and the voluptuous body." - Bunny Mathews, Offbeat Magazine---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----"Debbie Davis is old school, with a voice that is comfortable in various contexts. Besides her singing, Davis is a great entertainer, quick with a joke and rewritten lyric, like her descriptions of certain local figures sung to the tune of Cole Porter's "Let's Do It." All in all, she's what a cabaret singer should be." David Kunian , Gambit Weekly------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------"Davis Eisenhower-era nightclub canary is right on the money. Its just the way these warblers were: fluffing their hair, rolling their eyes, purring Santa Baby or belting Just Make me a Present of You into one of those boxy mikes. In fact, Davis displays as much come-on with her clothes on as the rest of the girls do peeling them off - David Cuthbert, Times Picayune---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------Look for Debbie with the Pfister Sisters....http://www.myspace.com/thepfistersisters

There's no Accounting for Taste

I glanced at my friend ticker on my page today and, wonder of wonders, I have 3,333 at most recent count. I hesitate to approve any more requests because this is such a groovy number. I only have 2 un...

Born Under a Bad Sign

I found myself thinking about Jesus this morning. I was thinking, however ironically or not, that he's the only Capricorn who's birthday doesn't get at least a little underplayed or disrupted bec...

Anatomy of the Heart and the Perfect Day

  I swore all the way up to New Jersey that I was going to blog about the trip, no matter how it went. Between sheer exhaustion and a crappy internet feed in PA, I never got online and the idea o...

A Different Kind of Crazy- or how I learned to stop worrying and drive to New Jersey

Two weeks from today my dad is going into a medical center, I think in Hoboken, for a "procedure" which, in my experience, is a medical euphemism for "thing that will sound scary if you actually descr...

Lets ask our studio audience!!!

First, I'd like to apologize for the title of my last blog. I was, as you might guess, a little distracted at the time and couldn't come up with a blog handle. Then this phrase came to me and I t...
