 Lou was the wonderful lady that screened Alvin Batiste during an aptitude test during his childhood.  Here you see him dating the actual visual component of that test.  Alvin had done this  many years ago, at      
age 13, in fact.  Lou still had the piece in her 
possession.  She was actually bringing it back to give to Alvin, but he insisted she keep it!  Another priceless Batiste original work.

       

Above is famed actor/singer Billy Bob Thornton posing for the cover of his September 2001 Album release "Private Radio".  Thornton tapped Batiste to serve as the cover artist for his album debut while filming The Badge in historic Donaldsonville.
