Buddy Boudreaux
John Landry “Buddy” Boudreaux (December 27, 1917 – June 13, 2015) was a big band and jazz musician in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He played saxophone and clarinet. Since 1934, he directed and played in a number of bands that have toured the southern United States and drawn nationally known performers to Baton Rouge. The State-Times newspaper called him “the city’s sound of big band.” His bands backed such artists as Andy Williams, Bernadette Peters, Doc Severinsen, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Burt Bacharach, Johnny Mathis, The Four Tops, Bob Hope, George Burns and Joan Rivers. He opened shows for Tony Bennett, Tony Orlando, Louise Mandrell, The Beach Boys and Bill Cosby. He was co-author—with his barber, Michael T. Abadie—of “My Baton Rouge,” which in 1998 was declared the city’s official song.〔〔Resolution 27239, Metropolitan Council of the Parish of East Baton Rouge and City of Baton Rouge, March 23, 1998〕
==Early life==
Boudreaux was born in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, and moved to Baton Rouge with his family six months later.〔T.

A music teacher heard Boudreaux blowing a cousin’s saxophone and talked him into lessons. With money earned caddying for a neighbor who was the golf professional at a Baton Rouge country club, Boudreaux, at age 12, bought a saxophone and, for $10, a dozen music lessons, the only formal training he ever had.〔〔〔
