Luderin Lawrence Darbone (January 14, 1913[1] – November 21, 2008), was a Cajun-Western swing fiddle player for the band Hackberry Ramblers.

His parents gave him his first fiddle at the age of 12 and he learned to play through a correspondence course.

In 1930 he met guitarist Edwin Duhon and together they formed the nucleus of a band they named the Hackberry Ramblers in honor of their hometown.

[3] Darbone and Duhon were the first musicians to bring electronic amplification to area dance halls, running a public address system off the idling engine of Darbone's Model-A Ford.

Due to a sponsorship deal with Montgomery Ward, the band adopted the name "The Riverside Ramblers".
