    I love family bands and I love old-time Cajun music. This is the best of both.

    I watched this in April and I'm watching it again. I have become a Cajun music lover! I asked my husband for Ann's books on the subject for Christmas. Here's hoping!

    I grew up in Eunice, La where they're from and I regret never making it a point to stop by the Savoy Center for one their jam sessions. I hope they live forever because once they're gone, the culture is sadly going with em.

      Actually, there are many people in SW Louisiana preserving the French culture. There are French immersion schools where the children take all their instruction in French, even math. They only speak French at school. There are also many young people who play Cajun music and modern songs that are sung in French. You ought to check out the Festival Acadienne
      held in Girard Park in Lafayette every year. Its several days long, and lots of fun.

    This is so fun! Mes Acadiens grandparents came from Quebec, originally from Nova Scotia. After learning the history of what happened there , I can understand how my grandmere never wanted to speak 'de Ingleside! Lol, we loved the sweet little lady! All 9 of her children.

    I saw Joel Savoy play at the Vancouver jazz Festival a few years ago and after the show approached him and asked(in English, stupidly ) if he spoke French. He gave me an irritated look, said yes and turned away to talk to someone else. I should have asked in French, I was just star-struck and it came out like that. I've wanted to apologize ever since. My parents were French-Canadian and I grew up bilingual. I have always wanted to speak to someone from Louisiana and never had the chance until then and screwed up. From what I've seen on the 'net, the French spoken in Canada and Louisiana has more similarities than with contemporary European French. Besides, I love Cajun music.
