I had the distinct pleasure of playing music with Lyman with two different bands,first with "Jerry Bellot and Cajun Friends"at the Rodair club, and "Bon Temps Playboys at Larry's French Market on thursday nights. Lyman was undoubtedly the best fiddle player I ever played with at backing up the accordian, old timers called it "Seconding the Accordian", he learned this from his dad when he was young back in Louisiana. I have many fond memories of Lyman and his family.Our condolences go out to his survivors. Roland Ledet
HE WAS MY MUCH LOVED FATHER WE HAVE MISSED SEEING HIM ON THE STAGE WITH HIS EYES CLOSED TO FEEL THE MUSIC. THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE MY HEART FULL . HE ALWAYS LOVED TO PLAY MUSIC WHERE EVER HE COULD . WITH THE FAMILY ON THE HOLIDAYS WHEN THINGS WOULD COME DOWN FROM EXCITEMENT OF THE KIDS RUNNING A ROUND THE HOUSE HE WOULD OPEN HIS CABINET AND TAKE OUT A FAVORITE FIDDLE AND THE HEADS WOULD TURN AND WE WOULD ONCE AGAIN HEAR THE MUSIC .. IN OUR HEARTS WE WILL ALWAYS FEEL AND LOVE THE SOUNDS... ALWAYS. A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR MEMORIES... LET THE GOOD TIMES CONTINUE IN YOUR LIVES.... DARNELL GUY
I'm very new to this forum, and I'm not sure if this will show to all of you on the board. I would like to thank those who made very special comments about Lyman Veronie. My name is Corinna. I'm his granddaughter. He is such an inspiration to me and has made a great impact on my life. He and my grandmother, Corita, were very loving people! Pawpaw was very talented and yet very modest about it. Please treasure your fiddles from him. I'm in hopes to get one as well if he had any left. Thank you again. God Bless! Corinna Guy
