Biography
Sady D. Courville (November 15, 1905, Chataignier, Louisiana – January 3, 1988, Eunice, Louisiana) was a Cajun fiddler noted for his extensive collaboration with Dennis McGee.
Early life
Courville was the son of Eraste Courville who was also a fiddler. In his early teens he bought his first fiddle and started learning from his father and Dennis McGee. By the time he was 16, he was playing dances with Amédé Ardoin around Chataignier and Faiquitaique.

In 1929, Courville and McGee were invited to record in New Orleans. Courville was credited only as "second fiddle" on this record.
