  Other songs on Back to Bogalusa include a pair of band instrumentals-"Grape Jelly" and "Slap It"-along with Don Nix's "Same Old Blues," the Delbert McClinton tune "Lie No Better," and Gate's own "Dangerous Critter"-a tune about livin' above an alligator on a waterway that his neighbors call Gate's canal."I'm built right up over the water, and I can fish off the back of my deck.The gator don't bother me.If I leave him alone, he leaves me alone," he says.
  
  Despite big-jawed reptiles, Brown maintains that Louisiana is one of the few places left in America where people and nature co-exist comfortably."I'm only 32 miles from New Orleans, but it's another world out here.I think we've got some music on this album that will let people know what it's like in the bayou," he adds.
  
  Brown was born in Vinton, Louisiana, and raised not far from the Gulf Coast in Orange, Texas.He learned guitar and fiddle from his father who played and sang the tunes of the region, including French traditional songs and even German polkas.He reminds us that: "Everybody played music in those days."
  
  He began working professionally as a drummer during World War II.After a stint in the U.S. Army, Gatemouth made his debut as a guitarist in 1947 by simply walking on stage at Don Robey's famed Peacock Club in Houston and picking up an electric Gibson guitar that an ailing T-Bone Walker had put down mid-show.Gate so wowed the audience, playing his own "Gatemouth Boogie," that within a few minutes he had been showered with $600 in tips-a large haul in those cash-strapped days.
