I'm jealous, that is wonderful Jake and really special. I'm 52 now and I wish I played when I was that young. I never played any type of instrument until I started guitar about 10 years ago. I just think of all the time I lost and how much better a player I would be now. Oh well...I still love playing old school blues and blues rock songs even if I'm just a above average player.
I used to be in a band with a singer from Houma La, he was a legit Cajun, telling me stories of the swamps, and singing in them. Explaining the culture, how they have seafood boils, and dump them on newspapers, Boudreaux and Thibodeaux jokes, and the term coonass, which i thought was racist, he explained what it meant, any way years later i was telling this young black guy about Cajuns, and he went nuts after i said coonass is what they call themselves that are deep in the swamp ppl, nothing to do with color, they only come out in boats to trade or get supplies 😂
@@JakeAndrewsMusic you have lots of good ones yourself, BTW that band I was talking about, when I used to live in ATL, we were called 10 commitments, opened up for Atlanta rhythm section and Leon Russell back during the Olympics there.
And the name of that song was “Louisiana Zydeco”, with a young Jake Andrews tearing it up on his Fender Stratocaster. He sure got an early start. And Gatemouth was kind enough to let a young boy come on stage. Excellent!
I knew Gatemouth. Gate would take offense in your labeling him a blues guitar legend. His talent transcended genres and instruments. Gate was as big as music.
Anyone getting a kick out of this might want to check out the You-tube footage of 7 Yr. old Ricky Skaggs performing with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs . ok bye .

I used to work for him he was living in Slidell la and Strom came through in 2005 he lost his house he had a heart attack and die he was in Texas at that time of the storm

Finally someone putting a Fender duo-sonic to good use!
Haha! Yeah I put a lot of miles on that one.

Yes, Gatemouth was very kind to me through the years! I played with him numerous times and he always got me up to play onstage with him.
Gatemouth was a blues guitar legend. It must have been quite a kick for you at age 12 to be on stage with him. You were not too shabby yourself :)

Time to Burn by Jake Andrews is one of my all time favorite blues albums.
Brown was great. Unique Texas style.
You have Gates sense of phrasing !
Thank you Allen!
Smokin young man. Give it hell
Thanks R.C.!

Foot a tapping, soon the floor is happening swinging to the strings sings its like a bell rings

What is the name of this song
It's called Louisiana Zydeco!
Probably Little Jake's first "woodie". Who wouldn't. Good show little chap.
