with him.

It is fustrating how time gets away from you. My wife and had planned on going to the nursing home on University where Mr. Hebert was staying and playing some of his songs for him. But we just couldn't get over there. He left a lot for us to remember him with. Love his music.

Wasn't that the man who made "tit Galop pour la Pointe aux Pins"? That has always been one of my favorite Cajun songs.

Yes Adam Hebert made that song and a lot of other wonderful Cajun songs.

Peer, not sure how in the world Flat Town Music credits him with authorship of 'Tit Galop pour la Pointe aux Pins since it is the same as John Bertrand's Cousinne Lilly from 1929!

The obit says he also created Ouvre Cette Porte, J'Aimerais Connaitre, le Moulin (based on What's the Matter with the Mill?), and La Valse de Ma Cherie.

I think his Pour la Derniere Fois is one of my favorites, and Every Night When it Gets Dark. He had a talent for songwriting.

Adam Hebert is also credited with Madeleine, a song done by both Cajun and Creole bands. So that's quite a few standards!

Me, I love his singing and his unique fiddle style!

Unless were are talking about DL Menard I am very cautious giving credit to the author of songs. I use the-who ever standarized the lyrics-as the authority.

T'as raison, Piquant!

Merci Neal!

The Chicago Cajun Aces played a CFMA dance last night and
almost half of the numbers we played were Mr. Hebert's.
What a great repertoire to choose from!
