So sad..such a waste of life..

I loved his playing style..and enjoyed the LR Devils and often play the CD that Peppy featured on.
He would have made a lot of people happy with his music.

****..don't know why, but I'm reminded of the tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan song " Six Strings Down '..where the line goes;

" Heaven done called another Blues stringer back home'

..just substitute Blues stringer for 'Cajun Musician'

It's truly a shame .. I loved his playing.

What a horrible loss. I feel for his friends, family, and everyone who loved him.

I never got to meet him, though I looked forward to it, and he has been one of my favorite singers and accordionists for the last year or so.

RIP Peppy.

I had the honor of meeting him at Buffalo Jambalaya a few years back and took his accordion class. He was a very giving musician and was very willing to share his talent with us. I will remember him in my prayers. RIP.

This is very bad news.
He was much too young.
My thought are with his family and friends in LA.

A bit of irony, and testament to the fact that musicians leave legacies. Every time I get together with Cory McCauley, I play a "name this tune" song. Saturday afternoon (before I learned of the wreck) I played "Pepe's Waltz", one of my favorite waltzes.

Heart felt condolensces to family and friends.
