DL Menard: “I’ve been there- it was at the beginning of Breaux Bridge. I played there- as a matter of fact- our fiddle player told us that Hank Williams just died (January 1, 1953). Playing with Freddy Tauzin in those days.” Owner was Kearney (Fatty) Thibodeaux. In English, it was called “the top.” It was a circular building that looked something like a spinning top. Located in the area where the fruit stand is on the Breaux Bridge highway now.
