 The inventor of gastronomical boogie woogie. Like a cross between Justin Wilson and Robert Johnson. The Sauceboss, subject of Jimmy Buffett's song "I Will Play For Gumbo", cooks up a pot of gumbo right on stage during the show. And at the end... everybody eats!

He sings the blues
He cooks the gumbo
He plays the guitar
He writes the tunes
He feeds the masses
He makes his very own hot sauce
That's why they call him
THE SAUCE BOSS
