Saw Tab for the first time at Rock-N-Bowl back about 1996....Had SOOO much fun.

He signed his CD's and would just chat with everyone. If you have never visted New Orleans...GO !! Nothing like it anywhere... Great food and music. Wonderful Culture to learn about.....GO...you won't be disappointed

I'm Tab's sister. I don't live in Houma anymore. But I can tell you that Tab is ANYTHING but the town disgrace. I go to Houma to visit him and watch his shows. Tab is the most positive thing to ever come out of Houma La.

Check out my video of him jamming with his brothers. He is a real person with depth of character that surpasses small town BS.

To Buckwheat: please don't post nonsense about tab online. I bet I know you too. Im his little sister. And you are a jealous, small minded Person.

[MilesofColtrane]
