The Able Show family is heartbroken by the tragic loss of Idrees Degas.

Idrees was more than a guest on our show—he was a talented actor, a gifted storyteller, and a kind soul whose presence left a lasting impact on everyone who met him. We were honored to have him share his journey, his wisdom, and his talent with our audience.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and all who loved him. While his life was taken far too soon, his legacy will continue through the lives he touched and the work he leaves behind.

Thank you, Idrees, for allowing us to be a small part of your story.

You will always be remembered and forever be a part of The Able Show family.

Rest in Peace.

We'd like to spotlight one of the pioneers of blues music, Blind Lemon Jefferson! 🎵

Born blind near Couchman, Texas, on September 24, 1893, he didn't let vision loss stop him from becoming one of the most influential blues musicians of his time. Specializing in blues and gospel music, he released numerous records and built a successful career before his passing on December 19, 1929.
