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.

Musical career

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

Personal life

Courville married in June 1929. He decided to take a hiatus from music around this time due to the stress.
