On May 9, 2024, the UL Lafayette College of the Arts is hosting a screening in the ULL LITE center of "In a Good Place Now: The Life & Music of Bobby Charles", a feature-length documentary exploring the life and music of Bobby Charles, the singer/songwriter from Abbeville, Louisiana. Charles rose to fame in the 1950s with such hits as "See You Later Alligator", "Walking to New Orleans" and "But I Do" through his appearance in "The Last Waltz" and then his self-imposed exile to his small town. Produced by the Bobby Charles Trust, LLC, and Directed by David Dubos.
