Marker to Honor Gatemouth Brown

Orange County Commissioner's Monday approved $1,500 to erect a marker at the Hollywood Cemetery on Simmons Drive to honor Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. Brown’s records include titles such as, "Rock My Blues Away," "Dirty Work at the Crossroads" and Bogalusa Boogie man. Brown’s casket was unearthed by hurricane Ike’s floodwater. Brown has since been reburied although there is no gravestone at the site. The family is currently working to place a grave marker.
