Sady D. Courville[2] (November 15, 1905,[3] Chataignier, Louisiana – January 3, 1988,[3] Eunice, Louisiana[1]) was a Cajun fiddler noted for his extensive collaboration with Dennis McGee.
Early life
Courville was the son of Eraste Courville who was also a fiddler.[4] In his early teens he bought his first fiddle and started learning from his father and Dennis McGee.[4] By the time he was 16, he was playing dances with Amédé Ardoin around Chataignier and Faiquitaique.[4]
Musical career
In 1929, Courville and McGee were invited to record in New Orleans.[4] Courville was credited only as "second fiddle" on this record.[4]
Personal life
Courville married in June 1929.[5] He decided to take a hiatus from music around this time due to the stress.[5]
