VariseConnor & Lionel Leleux cut loose on fiddles!

Varise Connor was a Cajun fiddler from Lake Arthur, LA. His works and personality has inspired many prominent Cajun musicians. He was a third generation fiddler: his grandfather, Octave Conner, was also a fiddler. His ancestry can be traced to Ireland, when William Conner immigrated to Louisiana in the mid 18th century and to the French Acadians who arrived in Louisiana in the 1750s from what is now Nova Scotia
Lionel grew up in the Leleux community south of Crowley,
Louisiana. He was a barber, traditional Cajun fiddle player, fiddle
maker and raconteur (a keeper of oral tradition). His first fiddle
came from Sears in 1924 at a cost of a little more than $4.00.
