1918 - Austin Pitre was born on this day. A cajun accordianist and native of Ville Platte, Louisiana. He was the front man for "Austin Pitre & the Evangline Playboys" for many years and played dance halls around the South Louisiana area. In 1997, Pitre was posthumously inducted into the Cajun French Music Association's Hall of Fame. That same year, Arhoolie released the CD "Austin Pitre & His Evangeline Playboys - Opelousas Waltz" which was a remaster of recordings that PItre had made in 1971. He passed away in 1981 at the age of 63. |
