Gabriel Brown er en af de store usikkerhedsmomenter i de blues, hvis historie synes alt for mærkeligt til at blive ignoreret, men han garnered kun et ringe stykke i Edward M. Komara 's ellers udmærkede Encyclopedia af Blues:
En underlig anonym kunstner uden reel tydelige rødder og en avanceret baggrund, at det står i modsætning til hans koncentration på behændig land blues. Brown vandt første præmien i St. Louis National Folk Festival i 1934 og blev optaget for Library of Congress. Han blev en aktør, der arbejder med Orson Wells, blandt andre, og blev taget op af pladeselskabet ejer Joe Davis. der registreres ham ekstensivt fra 1943 til 1953, før han angiveligt døde i en sejlsport ulykke.
Han opnåede den meddelelse af sådanne berømte område optagere som Alan Lomax og Zora Neal Hurston1 ingen tin ører selv. Hans faglige sammenslutning med formidable karakter af Joe Davis2 alene skulle have gjort ham mere synlig for de legioner af blues samlere derude, men desværre er han stadig languishes i skyggen, som en ukendt sideman. Samlinger af hans musik, en ringe to bøger om den britiske mærker Flyright og JSP, gøre lidt for at give ham den respekt, han fortjener. Hans loping guitar arbejde får én til at tænke arbejdet i Pink Anderson og Lightning Hopkins, og hans oprindelige sange har lyrics at konkurrere med de bedste af Delta Musikere.

Obesity
Obesity is when a person is carrying too much body fat for their height and sex. A person is considered obese if they have a Body Mass Index (BMI) - weight in kilograms divided by their height in meters squared - of 30 or greater. Obesity can happen when you eat more calories than you burn off over a period of time.
The rate at which you burn off calories from food and drink is known as your metabolic rate. This is often faster during growth spurts and puberty, but reaches a fairly steady rate by adulthood.
People who are very active generally have a higher metabolic rate than those who are inactive because they burn off calories faster through energetic activity. For example, a labourer working on a building site may need as many as 4,000-5,000 calories a day to keep an even weight. In contrast, an office worker who uses a car to get to work, and does not exercise, may only need 1,500 calories a day.
If the amount of calories provided by your daily food intake is more than the calories that you burn off, your body will store the extra energy as fat. This is the body's way of protecting itself in case of starvation. However, starvation in developed countries is extremely rare, and this insurance against 'hard times' is hardly ever needed.
Most of us have more food than we need, and much of it is higher in calories than the human body was originally designed to cope with. Fast foods, high calorie snacks, and large portions all mean it is easy to take in more energy than we need. Obesity has now become one of the most serious medical problems of the western world.
