He is a former bluesman who has converted his music to songs in praise of the Lord. Marie sings powerful old-time gospel while the Bishop plays hard-driving Piedmont-style guitar.

Expressin' the Blues Guitar Gabriel was the most eloquent bluesman of his time. In this piece Gabe addresses the entire blues landscape and lets us in on the real story. Guitar can be heard on each compilation and on his own cd.
Metal Bottoms Cootie related to me, "Me and Chilly Winds the washboard player had been up all night. Sun was coming up and we were walking down the street in the section of town called Metal Bottoms. That is where all the goings on were, and it could be a rough place. We started singing about it. It is a true song."
Peter Rumpkin I was at a drink house in East Winston with Guitar Gabriel one day, when in walked this little old lady. She chimed in with some old risque songs, danced on a chair and worked the crowd with her sharp tongue. We became close friends and in 1994, Gabe, Willa and I performed together at Carnegie Hall. Her sassy songs can be heard on A Living Past and Expressin' the Blues.
