love and vision of the city and its sound of music, which you can
clearly feel when you hear him on this CD.
He played with so much feeling; it truly captured the New Orleans
, Louisiana sound. This is his story told in music, CD title track
Friday Night (The New Orleans, LA sound).
A GREAT CD TO HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION! Collectors Edition

BRIEF
STORY ABOUT THE
OVERSEER’S HOUSE AT THE PLANTATION
In the 1960’s Schoolboy
Cleve's mother Mrs. Susie (Martin) White Born 1894 lived there.
As descendents of the Slaves the real story is yet to be told on
how this remarkable lady raised 9 children without an education
but with the grace of God! Please, make a reservation to see the
remarkable plantation.
Magnolia Mounds Overseer’s
House is a double-sided house, original to the plantation c. 1870.
It was found a few blocks away and moved back to the plantation
proper. The house is furnished as if the overseer and his family
are still living there and includes an early 19th century sick room.
Overseer’s House, original to Magnolia Mound, was found in
the surrounding residential area and moved to its present site.
