→The music continues too
In a 2001 interview, Drew told then entertainment writer Margaret Martin of ''The Shreveport Times'' that he began his musical career by "tinkering with the keyboard by ear [because] I never really learned to read music. I'm not talented, but I'm diligent." Martin noticed that Drew keeps a keyboard on his desk. The walls of his office are filled with law books and portraits of his grandfather and great-grandfather, both of whom once held the judgeship that he occupies.

Drew's original band, "The Monks," played mostly [[Bob Dylan]] tunes. Two years later Drew coined a new name, "Ivy Peebles Medicine Show Band," to recognize the late justice of the peace who had performed the marriage of the band's one-time drummer, Max Kees. Early gigs were mostly for Minden High School after-football game dances. They often were paid $25 (203 in 2019 dollars). The band continued as Drew went to college and law school.

Margaret Martin summed up Drew this way: "Music is in his blood, but he is serious about his law career and proud that he is a fifth generation lawyer/judge."
