Sorry that he never made it here.  I saw Gatemouth at Antone's about 
10 years ago, when he was a spry septuagenarian.  He was crotchety 
as ever, and put on a hell of a show.  

Seems that Austin is benefiting from the displacement of New Orleans 
musicians.  We recently had a report of Cyril Neville renting an 
apartment in town, as well as some members of the Dirty Dozen Brass 
Band, the Iguanas, and more.  Too bad Gatemouth won't be among 
them.
