Condolences to Bruce Daigrepont and family
Posted by Kevin Allman on Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 6:20 AM
Keep a good thought for Bruce Daigrepont, who plays Tipitina's regular Sunday fais-do-do; his parents Albert and Jennie Rita Daigrepont were killed a week ago Sunday in Mississippi as they attempted to evacuate the city in advance of Hurricane Gustav. Our best to the Daigrepont family and their many friends.

Very sad news. I heard the story and was troubled before the names were released. We've lost another pair of great and proud New Orleanians. I send my condolences to Bruce and the Daigrepont family.

What a loss to the Cajun community! For the last ten years, I have been dancing at Tips. I will always remember the joy in their faces as they watched their son play! We will all miss them dearly!
I recall first meeting Bruce's family when I lived in Minnesota and they came along on a tour. They were warm and witty and true Cajun ambassadors. Anybody who knows Bruce's music knows of his love for his family and culture. All my love to the Daigreponts.
I have danced to Bruce's music since the first time that Tipitinas brought over the mudbugs from Frankie and Johnny's. My condolences to him and all of his family. God Bless
