Kenny G, the Grammy winning saxophonist, performed at the Beau Rivage on Friday night and his sold out concert was about the best one I have ever seen. With great passion and extraordinary talent, he played most of his top hits including "Songbird", "Forever In Love", "End Of The Night", "The Joy Of Life", etc.
I love instrumental music and Kenny G's genre of smooth jazz and adult contemporary is my favorite. He played his heart out on his soprano saxophone and the audience was spellbound.
The Beau Rivage Hotel is where I usually stay when I go down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is the largest and finest hotel in the state of Mississippi. It was wrecked by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 but has been completely restored/rebuilt to its former glory.
This is a famous historic landmark on the Mississippi Gulf Coast at Biloxi. Built in 1848 of cast iron and masonry, this lighthouse has survived many hurricanes during its 160 years including the devastating Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Jon, I could almost hear the music from your description of Kenny G's concert ... he is truly talented and I know it was a wonderful experience to hear and see him in person.
I love that old lighthouse ... I'm sure it was (and continues to be) an inspiration for all during the rebuilding of the Coast.
Thank you for sharing your weekend with us.
Sincerely,
Janie
Glad you were able to get out and enjoy the concert. I love to listen to Kenny G late at night - so relaxing.
I lived in Pascagoula when Camille blew through. It did some damage there, but it was even worse in Biloxi where everything was laid out flat. Katrina brought back memories to me even though I no longer live in Ms. Your picture of the reconstructed hotel shows me that the people of Mississippi are still getting back up after being smacked down hard. God bless you.
