Born in Oakland, reared in New Orleans, then moved to Texas for damn near half my life (loved it), felt a yearning to back to New Orleans, so I moved to my beach house in Mississippi (loved it too, lookin' at the water), but it got blown away by Katrina (my house was the exact center of the storm (a city named Waveland, MS, ironically), moved back to Tejas, now, but I'm back here on the beach looking at the Gulf of Mexico... an hour outside of the Big Easy. Liking it, but not loving it like I did before. However, I have more gigs here. Maybe this will explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sldr65vhLsI That's me rappin' & playin' Bourbon Street blues... I was inducted into the Louisiana Hall of Shame because of it. -v
