WHITE PARTY MOONLIGHT CRUISE

Now that I am back from the Dominican Republic, I am preparing myself for the White Party Moonlight Cruise, which is given every year by James Saunders. He has been promoting parties since the begining of creation and has done about 15 boat rides. He started out with the Circle Line boats. Those parties were off the hook,real ghetto, as you brought your crew with you, your food and your liquor. You grabbed a table on the boat on one or the other levels and then you hung out. The music was by myself and Fred Pierce. We would turn that boat the hell out! At that time, we were playing at the South Oxford Tennis club. James was the prominent promoter of Black gay events in N. Y. After a few years, we ended up at The Octagon, on Fridays, for a five and a half year run. This is where I met my close friend, DJ Unknown. Back to the boat rides.... James then did the Paddle Wheel Queen, and then he stepped up to a classier ship, "The Horizon". That was very beautiful, and the first white party boat ride. I had been booked elsewhere so I did not work that one.Then the next year he did "The Zephyr". That ship was beautiful! The party was nice, too! Last year, he had 'The Horizon", again. This year, he went to Spirit Cruises, as 'The Horizon' was sold to Sprit Cruises D.C and is now on the Potomac. He had 'The Spirit of New York. As beautiful as The Horizon.
