Cher Cheese! His fiddle was one of three made by a son of Nicola Amati. He told me one day that he had been offered $17,000 for it, but declined. His father Willie Read had given it to him as a kid. His favorite drink was 10 High bourbon sweetened with sugar in iced water. He told me it made the whiskey a little stronger. He gave me my first beer when I was about 3 or 4 while he was barbecuing at his momma's in Ville Platte. That was to calm me down because I was chasing the ducks to watch them swim in the pond.
Thanks Dowell for that information about Paul Tate's sister on guitar. That was my guess who it was. I wonder if Robert LeBlanc knew her from jams at Marc Savoy's? Good to hear from you!
