Hey! It has truly been a while since I've posted a blog entry. It's not that I haven't had anything to say or that my mind has been on some sort of vacation though. I really don't know why I stopped. Well, actually, I do. Life. Life happened to me! The last two years of my life have seen so many changes. At times, it appeared to me that a lot of those changes were not necessarily for my good. Looking back, I now know that they're always for my good. Not because they feel/felt good but because they were/are for His glory. So, nonetheless, there are a lot of things in my life that still confuse me at the moment, I still march on. I say all of this because I'm actually at the point were I feel like I want to start sharing through this medium again. It's my hope that you'll check my writings out and be blessed, entertained, challenged and at times maybe a little pissed off! Stay tuned...

Oh yeah, the reason for the title, right! My cousin, Larry Gabriel, has written an in depth history of our family. It's called "Daddy Plays Old-Time New Orleans Jazz" (Gumbo Publishing). It also includes a chapter about my life and contribution to the family's legacy. Check it out and let me know what you think.
