| 2005 - Eldridge (Mr. Eddie) Gabriel, a drummer and a native of New Orleans, Louisiana drowned in the flood waters of hurricane Katrina on this day at the age of 95. He was most well know as an icon of Pat O'Brien's," says Shelly Oechsner Waguespack, a manager at the club owned by her father. The crowds inside Pat O'Brien's would chant his name six nights a week: "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" And Eddie Gabriel went onstage to "play his tray." Customers tossed coins and cash onto the battered aluminum tray, and Gabriel's fingers, topped by silver thimbles, tapped the bottom so the coins jingled and danced. He did this for over 60 years. |
