95 year-old Edwin Duhon RIP, co-founder of Louisiana Cajun band Hackberry Ramblers(considered by some to be America's longest running band)

"The Hackberry Ramblers became known for bringing two innovations to the music of south Louisiana: They blended the Cajun repertoire with western swing and country songs, and they introduced electronic amplification to local dance halls.

Inspired by a politician he heard speaking over a public address system, Darbone ordered a $50 system through a catalog. Because many of the places they played lacked electricity, he'd hook up the system to a generator connected to the battery of his idling Ford.

"People came from all over to hear the sound system," Darbone told USA Today in 2002. "I retired it after two years. It was hard on the car."
