Played with the likes of Johnny Rivers, Jimmy Clanton, and, most notably, 50+ years with Van Broussard.

A shame…… there zero music in the country like swamp pop…. Go on the different waterways of south Louisiana and visit different places, there is nothing like it in the country….. if you can’t have a good time on the river in Louisiana , you ain’t tryin. FACT.

I know him. Grew up with his kids in Homewood back in the 70s. RIP Mr. Bergeron.

Did you go to Lee High? I knew a couple of his daughters from Lee (and Kenilworth), and would go to their house on occasion. I had a lot of friends who lived in Homewood when I was in school.
