Governor Jimmie Davis & Jimmy Fontenot

The gov. visited Jimmy Fontenot's studio (Beau James) for years to have his hair cut and exchange
stories and jokes with Jimmy Fontenot. Many local celebrities and politicians favored this Mamouiana (MHS class of 1960) hair stylist ,not only for his excellent hair styling skills,but for his incredible ability to deliver a great story and/or joke. This video depicts the gov. at 100 years old getting his routine haircut from Jimmy Fontenot. I believe Jimmy's son,Chris,shot the footage but am not positive. Jimmy gave me a copy several years ago and I promised to one day share it with others via the internet.
