As the song goes, "  I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow. They'll learn much more than I'll ever know, and I think to myself...what a wonderful world.  The DUKES have two new babies.  Scott's baby, Rex, at  just a year old and Paul's baby, Sebastion following closely.  It is an exciting time hearing of the adventures of both of them.  They are lucky to have such talented and loving parents and there is constant music in their households.  In New Orleans we see music families grow and prosper and carry on the tradition.  Music is such a vital part of living and even if DUKES' offspring don't aspire to be musicians, the artistic environment that they grow up in will define them.  

Many times we have a guest say, "I am not a musician, but I love the music and can feel it!" or they speak of how music was so important in their home growing up. Music in the schools has been proven to heighten achievement in academic courses and is used to improve concentration and comprehension.  

Music can be enjoyed on many levels and the more you listen the more you appreciate it.  New Orleans musician Craig Klein recently said, "There are two types of music, good and bad, and I like them both!"
