ANOTHER CELEBRATION OF AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE
This is a photo compilation of David's Louisiana memorial on March 21, 2026
On March 22, 2026 we took David back out to Studio in the Country. He was so very proud to be a part of its history ... and now he is a permanent, physical part.
Birdie's Roadhouse was his musical home. It held a special place in his heart and we were grateful to be able to leave the last part of him there during a private celebration on Sunday, March 22, 2026.

Breaux Bridge Rag Redux
JP LeBlanc, a talented blues artist from Canada, recorded David's song Breaux Bridge Rag (made famous by Clarence 'Garemouth' Brown) in French.
With a rich personal history connecting him to this marvelous work, JP brought his version to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee and it plays regularly on Canadian radio.
