Jeff was born on February 22, 1955 to Guy and Hope Lasserre. He is one of 8 children, including 2 sisters Lee and

He started playing music at age 1l, playing saxophone in school bands. In 1974, he started playing guitar with a band

called, "The Torches" in St. Bernard Parish. Down in "the parish" is where he teamed up with Don and "Skeet"

Gautreaux and "The Chiffons" and that began a long tour of what Jeff calls the best times in his music career.

"The Chiffons" which included Jeff, C.J. Loup, Floyd Porche, Steve Calcagno, Don and "Skeet" Gautreaux, performed

all over the East and West Bank at different clubs, too many to name. The longest run the band had was at The

Robert E. Lee, later named My Father's Junkyard. In the 70's "The Chiffons" recorded "St. James Infirmary" and

"When My Dreamboat Comes Home" on 45 pm, that went well in the local area, thanks to WWOZand the many

friends and fans of the band. In 1991, "The Chiffons" performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

In 1996, Jeff left "The Chiffons" to play guitar and lead vocals with "The Jesters" who recorded a CD of original R&B

tunes. In late 1996, he teamed up with Karl Hunter, Nelson Ragas, Joe Lovecchio, Wilbur "Tank" and began "Music

Inc." which performed throughout the New Orleans area.

In 1998, Jeff left the New Orleans area and moved to Selma, Alabama, and still resides today. He's presently working

for Walmart and also does a "one man band" spreading New Orleans oldies and Swamp Pop Music through

Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, while working in the hotels and clubs.

With the support of his children, Shannon, Chantel and Mindy and 3 step-children, Thom, Amy and Paul, he will

continue to perform the good sounds of New Orleans Music.

Thanks to his family, friends, his late wife Patsy, and most of all to The Lord above, for giving him the talent he has.

He hopes to see as many of his friends as possible whenever he comes to town. New Orleans is still his home no

matter where he goes.

We are including this year a honorary inductee.........

Mr. Jerry "Truck" Gisclair , owner of Coastal Broadcasting, Inc., radio station KRZ, 100.3, "The Rajun Cajun" in

sporting events, school and church events and public information. "Truck" has been there for the "Westbank

Musicians Hall of Fame, Inc.", helping to spread the word for each event we have sponsored.

But most importantly, his station has provided the public a medium for the kind of music that all of us "Rajun Cajuns"

grew up with, that put a smile on our face and a song in our heart.

Jerry was born in Biloxi, Mississippi on November 29, 1932

to Roosevelt and Annie Marinovich Fountain. His mother died after giving birth to him, leaving him an only child to be

raised by his father and 3 aunts. At the age of 17, Jerry joined the Navy, served in Korea. After his discharge he

moved to Venice, Louisiana where he worked as a crew boat captain for Shell Oil Company. It was then he met and

married Sally Gerkin, settled in Buras, Louisiana and went on to have 3 children. After the birth of their 2'' child, Jerry

left the oilfield business and became involved in law enforcement. During his early career as a Deputy Sheriff he

served details as a personal body guard for then a young Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson. Throughout his 15 year

career as a deputy he also pusued his love for country music.

Jerry was dubbed "The Singing Deputy" when he formed a trio and played on weekends in clubs in Buras, in New

Orleans and the Westbank area.

In the summer of 1976, Jerry lost his wife Sally, to bone cancer. She had always encouraged him to do what made

him happy. So Jerry left the Sheriff's Department to spend time with his children and his music. After years of playing

music, Jerry opened his own club, "The Happy Cajun" which attracted the old and the new "urban cowboy"

generation.

In 1991, Jerry moved back to Biloxi where he worked as a security guard for Boomtown Casino and played music on

the weekends. Jerry had also proven himself to be a fine songwriter with the release of "The Girl Behind the Bar", I'm

a Truck Drivin' Man" and "I'll Still Be In Love With You". These songs made Jerry a legitimate BMI songwriter.

Thoughout his 25 plus years as an entertainer, Jerry had performed on TV and radio with such personalities as,

Freddy Fender, Faron Young, Lefty Frizell, Orion, Jimmy C. Newman, Hank Williams Original Drifting Cowboys and

his famous cousin, Pete Fountain. Jerry and his band also performed in the Louisiana Superdome opening for Merle

Iowa, one of 3 boys, including Mark and Paul to Joseph Earl and Rita M. Gilligan. The family later moved to Dubuque

where he learned his first song off the radio at age 4, which was "Good Night Irene".

At age 13, his neighbor Gary O Rourke, who was from California taught Gilligan chords on his guitar. Gilligan mowed

lawns and shoveled snow to earn enough money to buy his first Silvertone electric guitar. He also taught roller

skating at the local rink and in 1965, Gilligan met Bobby Goldsboro there and that's when he decided that he wanted

to travel and play music.
