Gate Swung
Legendary guitarist Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown died yesterday at age 81. How sad -- he died at his brother's home, because his house in Slidell, LA, was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. I was lucky enough to see one of his last performances, almost a year ago at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Hundreds of people of all ages were crowded around the tiny gospel/blues stage area, and his music had all of us on our feet dancing. He brought so much joy to the audience; I wish he'd had a more peaceful passing.
