about

"September Gurls"
It comes with a bittersweet twinge of loss.
As some of you may be aware, Alex Chilton passed away in New Orleans last month at the young age of 59. He was always one of my rock n' roll heroes.
As I grew up playing music myself in New Orleans,
I always admired the way that he lived his life.
He was simple, unassuming, humble, and a downright undercover rock legend.
A lot of people don't even know that he lived in New Orleans, but he did, and he loved it.
You would always hear stories about him like:
"Yea, man, dat dude's cool, he washes dishes at my uncle's restaurant"
"you'd never know he was a bonafide rockstar"
"dat's da dude from Big Star, .....man...."
On and on......
I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times on random occasions.
He was genuinely happy to know that someone knew his music.
I challenge each person I know, to seek out his music.
He was a huge inspiration for me, and as a tribute,
I humbly have recorded one of his classics,
"September Gurls"
In the immortal words of Wayne and Garth, "I'm not worthy!!!"
