I am so sad to hear the news of a passing of one of the sweetest men! Dionne and Benton, you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad and troubling time. May you feel the love around you and may He bless you with his peace and love.

I just heard this sad news, and am devastated. Sending my condolences to Anthony's family. . Anthony was a good friend of my ex husband Cranston and mine. We thought the world of him, as he was one of the nicest, most kind gentleman you could ever want to know. And a dynamite guitar player, too! I know he was a loving father to his son, and remember how happy he looked when he bought a keyboard from me to provide for his son to learn on. I loved hearing him perform with John Cleary and the late Herman Ernest, as the House of Blues Allstars, who played at HOB every Monday night, a while back. And he was one of those unrecognized talents- the quintessential side man on guitar, playing with just about every great New Orleans artist you can think of. He will be sorely missed by the entire New Orleans music community.

I was on my way to an appointment near Touro. I passed a church on Louisiana with cars tightly parked on every side street. I saw formally dressed people from every direction making their way to the church. Some as far away as a few blocks.
On my way back I made it a point to stop at the church find out who this well respected man was. I was sorry to find out he was only 56 but happy for the good life Anthony Brown must have lived.

My heart is broken. We have lost a phenomenal musician and even better man. I will miss seeing and hearing Mr. Anthony play all over our great city. No matter where I saw him, he always took the time to say hello and give me a big hug. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those that love him. Peace be with you!
