SUMMARY:Earl Gilliam
DESCRIPTION:  Description: Earl Gilliam began playing music on the str
	eets of New Waverly\, TX for nickels and dimes\; he sang from Ernest T
	ub\, Light Crust Dough Boys\, and other country songs with three of hi
	s brothers. Music was always in the house\; both his parents sang and 
	played piano.  Playing piano came naturally to Earl\, and at the age o
	f ten he was playing at the town's Baptist Church. When he turned seve
	nteen\, he played in his first blues band called “Rag Mop” in Conroe\,
	 TX.  He made it on down to Houston when he was 19 and started playing
	 with Albert Collins at Walter's Lounge. During this time\, he also pl
	ayed gigs with Gatemouth Brown\, Ivory Lee Semien\, and other artists.
	  Earl played with his own band as the house band at the Hamilton Inn 
	on Wayne Street in the Fifth Ward. Musicians like Trudy Lynn and Lavel
	le White would sometimes join him and Earl always gave first timers\, 
	like Sherman Robertson and I.J. Gosey\, a chance.
