    Gatemouth Brown was recording an album at "The Studio In The Country " in Bogalusa Louisiana, and I pulled up at Music World, looking through the plate glass window and I spotted Gatemouth playing guitar 🎸and I spent an incredible 30 minutes asking question after question, in which he was very generous in answering! Rest in Peace my brother!

    Still the best live show I've ever seen was in Rochester, NY, around 1990, when two guys showed up, with a trombone and sax, and asked if they could sit in with Gatemouth and his band. He said OK, they were terrific, and he loved every minute of it. Huge smile on his face, as he would point at them to do a solo and sit back playing rhythm while he watched them play.

    I have a T-shirt autographed by him, (and bought his CD then), from when I got to see him at The Santa Cruz Blues Festival back in 2000. Several other greats signed that same T-shirt. I will never wash it, and hardly ever used it. What a great musician.

    Another musical jewel from here in the Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur,Orange)...Gatemouth was an incredibly versatile musician who covered many genres and didn't necessarily like being recognized as a bluesman, but was a legendary one...I last saw him in Orange at a little community art show..Gate put on a great free show in the park for us and autographed my Bogulusa cd...He told me that's where his home was.....we miss him down here....thanks for posting this performance...visit our Museum of the Gulf Coast in Port Arthur,Tx or on their site ...

He was a very personable entertainer and loved to joke with his fans. Gate came to Atlanta many times and i was always stage front center for his performances. Thanks for posting this amazing video.

While people are so worried about all they're pedals and perfect amp rigs, Gate just sits there with that beautiful old ass Non-Reverse Firebird through a Music Man 212 - 130 and just makes some of the most beautiful music ever. Rest In Peace Clarence, your my hero!

    At 38:30 it's singing:
    My mama done tol' me,
    When I was in knee pants,
    My mama done tol' me, Son!
    A woman'll sweet talk
    And give ya the big eye;
    But when the sweet talkin's done,
    A woman's a two face
    A worrisome thing
    Who'll leave ya t'sing
    The blues in the night
