Steve
Riley
For our first week of the "Pine Leaf of the Week,"
we've decided to honor our very own Steve Riley, accordion player with
the Mamou Playboys. Some ask, "Why not reward one of our own Pine
Leaf Boys, like Drew or Cedric?" The answer: Steve Riley. There is
no other answer. Steve, genial song writer, musician, and hell of a good
guy, deserves more than he is credited, and we're going to see to it that
he at least is recognized by the Pine Leaf Boys.
In the next few weeks, we will honor and reward one of
our heroes who in some way has contributed to our existence. Stay tuned
every Monday for the new pick of the week. Who knows? It might even
be you!
All of the below information may or may
not be accurate, and we've taken little or no caution in trying to get
it right. Any truth is purely coincidence and should be regarded light-heartedly.
In fact, the person had no input in response to these questions.
