Joe is an outstanding piano player. As part of staying at the Stone House Musical B&B, he gives a Private Concert. His musical talent is amazing. I am not talking Chop Sticks on the Piano. He plays musical scores from Great Composers whom I cannot pronounce, much less spell their name. Do yourself a favor and book with Stone House Musical B&B. You will not be sorry ....

St. Mary Basilica

Recognized as an architectural masterpiece among Catholic churches in the south, it is the spiritual home of a vibrant St. Mary Catholic community today. The construction of this place of worship was begun in 1842 as the Cathedral of the newly established Diocese of Natchez. The St. Mary congregation takes pride in the basilica's colorful and prayerful setting, and welcomes visitors from near and distant places. The city of Natchez, on the Mississippi River and the birthplace of Mississippi, is a tourist destination because of its historic ante-bellum homes. St. Mary Basilica, also ante-bellum, is the city's central landmark.

On a recent trip with our 11 year old grandson, we stopped in and where so amazed at the beauty of this old church. The grounds are beautiful also. Pictures do not do it justice.

Ever felt like you were living the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous?" Nah, me neither !!!, Until I stepped out of the elevator and walked into the lavish world of the Beau Rivage for the first time !!! It's like you are walking down the yellow brick road with Dorothy and Toto(but Toto is invisible, and Dorothy is that beautiful girl by your side !!! In my case, that would be my sweet and beautiful little wife, the most beautiful girl in the world !!! You might think you could give me someone more beautiful, but Oz never did give nothing to the Tinman that he didnt already have, and, no disrespect, You are not Oz !!! LoL !!! Not to boast, but I'm kinda proud of my baby !!! That brings me to a different set of songs, the ones that are sang and played at the end of the yellow brick road, physical address: Eight75, the name of the lounge just prior to stepping into the gaming area of the casino and also the actual physical address of the Beau Rivage(875 Beach Boulavard, Biloxi Mississippi). Eight75 holds a special place in my heart because it is where she(yes, you guessed it, my beautiful wife) and I began this wonderful life together. We would meet there for a glass of Merlot and would get lost in each other as the band played and as the packed house kept the energy alive with conversation and laughter. One thing(Merlot) led to another(Merlot) and before we knew it, we knew how to dance(Merlot) !!! Neither of us knew how before, but it's like a wizard stepped in and cast a spell on us...wait a minute, that's Merlin(Merlot), LoL !!! Anyway, we fell in love, dancing the night away on the dance floor in front of the band, with lots of other happy couples who didnt know how to dance either, or was it only the two of us(Love) !!! Everyone is there to assure that you have a Great time, from the band to the bartenders to the waitresses to the Beau Rivage itself !!! The scenery is breathtaking and you Really Do get a sense of living the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous !!! Head to the Beau Rivage for a Super Great Time and I'm sure, that you too, will fall in love !!!
