Mr. Quintron
I ran into a friend of mine the other day who reminded me of Mr. Quintron. For those who are not from New Orleans, or who aren't familiar with the New Orleans "Ninth Ward" scene, Mr. Quintron is something of a cult hero. He is married to a woman affectionately known as "Miss Pussycat", and lives in a house, known as the Spellcaster Lodge, in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. How did I find out about Mr. Quintron, you may be wondering? Well, I was invited to the premiere of the infomercial for his musical instrument/gizmo/thinga-ma-bob a few years ago. Quintron invented something called the Drumbuddy (it would be much easier for you to check out his site than for me to try to explain what a drumbuddy machine is) and, in keeping with all quality products, filmed an infomercial advertising it. My husband and I attended the premiere of the infomercial at the Shim Sham Club in the French Quarter. It was an evening to remember, with appearances by the late, great Ernie K Doe, Quintron, Miss Pussycat, the Shimshammettes, and MC Trachiotomy. Only in New Orleans.
