I started my musical career very young, when I was about 10 years old. I started playing the ukelele and singing in talent shows with my sisters. At age twelve, I got my first guitar, learned to play it and started the band " The Young Rebels" in 1970 with Carroll and Mike Chataignier & Donnie Thibodeaux. We were a band with good vocals, o.k. music and a good following. We disbanded in 1973 and formed a band called "Charlie" with again: Mike and Carroll Chataignier, Mike Comeaux, and Al Mallet. This group lasted till 1974, regrouped with different members, and finally disbanded for good in 1976. I joined with "Allen Wayne and Friends" till 1977, joined "Horizon" till 1978 and then left Horizon with three of their other members to form "The Nikl Beer Band." We asked Terry Guidry and Huey Kern to join the band that same year.

I left " Nikl-Beer" in 1987 to take three years away from the music scene. In 1990 I joined "The Classics" and played with them until 1993. Anatole Larroque was also a member of the Classics. In 1994, I rejoined "The Nikl-Beer Band" and a little later, introduced the horn players who played for the "Classics." I have been very excited to play with a great bunch of guys. Our band is very fortunate to have had such a great following over the years, and we thank all of you for that. We will continue to do this for as long as people enjoy our music. See you soon!
