ENJOYING COLIN’S BOOK: I waited patiently to receive one of Colin Gravois’s new book entitled “The Company I Kept.” The pages are full of poignant stories of people Colin has known and loved. Among those is an autobiographical short by JuJu Child, a well-known blues singer and guitarist. Much like Colin, Child goes back and forth to Paris from New Orleans and rural Mississippi. I met JuJu on an Amtrak train ride from Memphis to New Orleans early one Sunday morning. My friend and I shared a dining car table with him and another gentleman from New Orleans who were on their way home after attending a wedding. In our introductions we said we were from St. James Parish. When I said I lived in Vacherie, JuJu said he had been there to visit Colin Gravois and had also visited him in Paris. The four of us had a very delightful conversation and shared stories about growing up in rural areas. One never knows who they might meet and where.
