Texas Guitar Slinger

Lucien Gondron (professionally known as "Angel South") began his career in Houston, Texas, rocking the local night spots. After playing guitar in bands with Janis Joplin, Johnny and Edgar Winter, and B.J. Thomas, South was recruited by trumpeter Bill Chase to join his jazz/rock band, "Chase," as the featured guitarist. Bill Chase dubbed the guitarist with his stage name, "Angel South." South played so well that many articles were written about his outlandish performances.
