Hi, Dixieland Jazz Fans. This is the very occasional newsletter 
of the Creole Dixieland Jazz Band from Springifield, Missouri.

DON'T MISS MARDI 2005 AT ARRIS' PIZZA - TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8
Sure, we're still at Arris' every Sunday night but we don't 
want you to miss our annual Mardi Gras celebration Tuesday, 
February 8. Free giveaways and door prizes, fantastic food, 
costumes, fun, and New Orleans jazz with the Creole band! Come 
to one of two sessions:
5:30-7:00 p.m. OR
7:30-9:00 p.m.
Reservations are required for this one and the date is sneaking 
up on us. Call 417-881-7260 now. See you there!

ARRIS' CLOSED FOR SUPERBOWL
As you may know, Arris' is closed for only two sacred Sundays 
every year, Easter and the Superbowl. Superbowl is late this 
year, Sunday, February 6. It's the Sunday before our Mardi 
Gras celebration so call now to get a table reserved for Mardi 
Gras.

MONDAYS AT JOEY'S ONLY SEAFOOD
Have you tried the shrimp & salmon plate? Wow! It is fantastic. 
Every Monday night is "Mardi Gras Monday" at Joey's Only Seafood 
Restaurant and The Creole Band plays from 6-8. The restaurant 
features a special Cajun menu on Mondays. (Details and directions
