Texas
I followed Jesse Domingue to
Port Arthur, Texas to play with Herbie Stutes, we played
all over Southeast Texas. I started recording on my own
record label Falcon Records
while living in Texas.
You can hear these songs on my new CD release Songs
Of Yesterday . I had the honor to
have Freddie
Fender cut I Can't Take Losing Here
Anymore back in the early eighties.
I stayed in Texas a few more years and then moved back to
Lafayette, Louisiana.
Sonny Bourg
When I moved back home I started playing with
Sonny
Bourg and The Bayou Blues Band . I
played with Sonny for ten years off and on. This was a
good opportunity since Sonny played mostly private
parties for the Oil Field around Louisiana, Mississippi
and Southeast Texas. When I wasn't playing with Sonny I
was playing with my band Bayou Express. I even tried my
hand at running sound for Alex
Broussard at the Ranch Club. This gave me the chance to
run sound for some of the biggest Country Stars like
George
Jones, John Anderson, Vern Gosdin And Etc . I
quit playing except for Sundays with Leroy Broussard,
playing mostly French music, but this wasn't enough so
back to Beaumont, Texas.
1989
I found myself back in Texas, this time I played with
Jesse Stuart and several other local bands, but I always
seem to find myself back with Herbie Stutes. Herbie and
Jerry Stutes who owned a club called The
Starlite Club in Kountze, Texas.
Which was the inspiration for one of my songs on my first
CD Down From The Bayou
I
played with Herbie up until 1995 and then I put playing
music on the back
burner to further my writing. I would like to take time
to thank the guys who made playing music so much fun. It
was a Blast..........
Killer Records
When Mailing out demo's, I met Tommy Dee of Killer
Records out of Nashville, Tn. He saw something in one of
my songs Hello Baby and decided to come out with a single
on the Killer Label back in May of 1998. I owe Tommy Dee
many thanks for believing in me and my songs, if it
wasn't for him I wouldn't be living in Nashville, Tenn.
and pursuing my song writing.
2001
I'm half way finished with
my new CD which is called Cajun
On The Run . There's a little country,
swamp pop and rhythm and blues. I enjoy writing songs and
telling stories and the songs relate to a
lot of folks out there. I'm just an old bar room cheating
song writer. Ya'll pass a good time and
if you're ever in Nashville you might just hear one of my
songs.
