The Northeast Louisiana Music Trail, a non-profit organization established to honor the rich musical heritage of Northeast Louisiana, will be installing a special road marker at the town where Richard Berry was born, exactly 89 years and 3 days later at the Locust Hill Baptist Church in Extension, Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RB-2024-NELA-marker-flyer2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RB-2024-NELA-marker-flyer2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RB-2024-NELA-marker-flyer2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RB-2024-NELA-marker-flyer2-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is International LOUIE LOUIE Day, aka the birthday of Richard Berry, the man who wrote this iconic song.
