Dr Lou a student of The Three Stooges, Saturday Night Live, and the associated cast's wild wit and jargon, began the venture in 2002 playing the Jayke of Blues Brothers in the Festival Of Lights Boat Carnival on the river in Burlington. The response was overwhelming. He first appeared on land at a charity event for young James Gabig III, which he still continues to do for any charity, as the Bloues Bros, Jayke Since that time Dr Lou Music productions, www. drloumusic. com has become a well known name in NJ, with over 100 performances.

Dr. Lou featured Richelle Putnam's blues song, High Strung Woman, on his January 10, 2009 Blues Radio Show.

From heaven above arrives a fascination,
It..s a personal, glory innovation
To be honest, thankfull and true -
Holy night, I trust in you,
cause you give freedom to everyone,
You spend much love and also fun.
I treasure Christmas through the years,
It..s a magic time, which disappears.
But it comes back again and again,
I..m indeed a Christmas - fan.

I wish you and your family a merry christmas
Love & Peace
