The Brothers II: Murders on the Bayou

By Susan La Riviere

As a teenager, larry la riviere's melodic voice brought him out of a life of poverty to reach the impossible dream of becoming a performing and recording artist. Club owners took notice of his golden voice and ability to play drums as he harmonized with country recording artists Crystal Gale, Jody Miller, Johnny Paycheck, Charlie Pride. During the heyday of music in the sixties and seventies, club life was a hard-days-night where the nightclub scene often involved customers who were into drugs, alcohol, pills, nightly fights. Through all the trials and tribulations that readers will share about Larry's life, the one truth has been his passion for music, for writing songs, for playing his bass guitar. From the fruitbowl of the u.s in eastern washington to the gumbo pots in south louisiana, larry has found the puzzle pieces that complete his french-canadian heritage. Readers will be entertained by the lyrics written in the book to the songs recorded on his 18 song cd, included in each book. Two recording sessions give readers a front row seat to the brilliance of musicians creating their version of each song. By the end of the book, readers will join larry in his motto for life: laissez les bon temp rouler. Let the good times roll.
