Zydeco Music
Just thought I would make a post on some good ole Cajun music and see what response I found. Clifton Chenier and such. I work with a true New Orleans music man and wanted to share.

I was amazed to learn that he recorded some of his music back in the ole days. Yes he is an ole fart!
+1 for Clifton Chenier:)
Great thing about the internet that I can sit in Lancashire UK and listen to zydeco.
Last year, at a local festival, here in the anthracite coal country of Pennsylvania I was one of about 4 or 5 people that sat in the rain to hear a local band called Zydecoal. I enjoy Zydeco, and had the pleasure of listening to this band, and also to a couple of bands on Bourbon Street a few years ago.
I bought a couple of Zydecoal cds that I listen to fairly regularly.
OT a bit, this reminds me of one of the best movies I've ever seen and if any of you ever get the chance to watch it don't miss it.
Southern Comfort (1981)
A group of National Guardsmen led by Hardin(Powers Boothe)and Spencer(Keith Carradine)get on the bad side of swamp-dwelling Cajuns while conducting maneuvers in the bayou.Bloodshed ensues.Hardin and Spencer must then go on the run through the Louisiana swamps if they're to survive.This violent and exciting survival thriller owes a lot to John Boorman's fantastic "Deliverance".Walter Hill does a fine job of showing how an area as large as a bayou can be claustrophobic and the ultra-intense finale shows some top-notch editing.The acting is great and the script raises some serious questions about the behaviour of man."
