It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

i saw him in 1967 playing a ford car dealership in farmington nm. i drove by could not believe my young ears, made a U-turn into the lot. i then proceeded to have a one man concert all afternoon as the rednecks going in and out of the place had no idea that they were listening to a one of a kind talent.. one the of the best memories of a 15 year-old boy stuck in redneck hell untl my release upon graduation. a magical moment for me. he played like stanley jordan before there was a stanley jordan
Saw Gatemouth many times... one night he was playing at Wolf Trap in Va. and I called up the venue to invite him to dinner at my small club. He picked up the phone, said maybe, and a couple hours later the tour bus pulled up. The rest of the band was tired, but Gate and the bus driver came in, had dinner, talked with me like we were old friends, and did a couple of songs with the very talented blues band I had playing at the club that night. He did proceed to pull out his pipe and smoke what
Hey, how come the above bio didn't mention his birth in Vinton, LA and his move back to Louisiana in the late 70's living just outside New Orleans in Slidell, LA, till he lost his house in Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He evacuated to live with relatives in Orange, Tx where he died shortly after. Reviewer must be a Texas native...LOL

Only got to see him once, warming up for Clapton in Chicago but he was a real original. Nice that Clapton wasn't intimidated by him. What a show.
I saw him in Oshkosh WI.Almost literally bummed into him.All I could say was WOW.He was walkin down the steps, I was walkin up.He was dressed the part.All decked out in black,leather pants & his black cowboy hat.He spoke to me sayinYour a young one.I was in my twenties.I replied,Well,I guess I am.It was funny because I had to take a pottie break.My boyfriend @ the time totally missed him.Then I was surprised tht u had to pay for an autograph.So,naturally I spoke up abt it.He graciouly gave me an

I first saw Gatemouth in Newport,KY. My friend bought my ticket because I had no money. During set break he sat at the table with Cd's laying there. He was autographing them, God I wanted one but no. So asked him to sign my shirt, he nodded at the Cd's and said I don't sign textiles So I told him my story and asked him if I could just shake his hand. So..I shook Gatemouth's hand. Worth more than any autograph!!
gate mouth brown what can Isay the man was ahead of his time.

I first saw GateMouth In Elko, NV in 1973/74 during the first Cowboy Poetsconvention, I think it was at the Stockmans Hotel/Casino. It was very impressive, and I have followed him since. Love his style and music.
WOW... Just heard him for the very first time and he is awesome, I love Pandora you can find many new/old artists that you would have never found, without random plays and related artists :)

I miss ya gate and hope God is keeping you close

OMG this guy like the other plays with his soul, damn!
This guy was a great artist and is missed. Your bio of him is missing the fact that he was nominated twice for Grammy's and received a Grammy in the 80's. That is worth mentioning I think.
Loved Gate. Saw him several times in several cities. My favorite show was in an underground club in E. Lansing, MI. I think it was Rick’s American Café. He started the show by loudly announcing, “I want everybody to shut up and sit down. I already been paid. I can walk out of here right now. Sit down and shut up and you’re gonna hear a show like you never heard before.” The bar got very quiet and everybody did as they were instructed. He proceeded to put on a hell of a show-

Gatemouth is a legend. Legends never die. His licks live on in so many other musicians including myself.
gotta love him. so free, so creative. I've met him a couple times, a real character, always on, playin to win, expecting life to be great. hip, honest, hot , its Gate ! now he's gone, that's ok. dyin ain't bad, wastin time is bad, and this man used what God gave him so generously.
I don't understand why this fool resented being called a 'blues' musician - it sure as hell ain't country and western that he sings and it most certainly is NOT Cajun! I guess being from Orange, Texas is too close to Lusiana for comfort...
