On a les disques a tous nos concerts en France, Marc. Tous les dates sont sur MySpace, et on joue au Jockomo (41 rue Saint Maur), tous les mardis (et moi je fais les plats Cajuns aussis!!!)
I have two nieces -- Libby and Angie -- who grew up in Golden Colorado. Both are tall, blonde and beautiful. They are in their 20s and both are actors. Libby has traveled all over the world acting, and is just finishing up a M.F.A. in Florida -- on a full-ride scholarship. She has already been in Off Broadway and television commercials.
Younger Angie is still in New York and doing Shakespeare. She has studied in London and is moving up in the acting world.
Bottom line is that they are living their dreams, having fun and working hard to get to where they want to be.
I hope you have a GREAT time in Paris. Give it your best shot, stay away from crazies and downer types. And tell that grumpy old pops of yours to send your accordion toot sweet or however you spel that... -L-
Hope you make it to Saulieu.. if not my wife and I are going to be in Paris on August.. 12.13.14. staying in the Sorbonne area.
I'll have a Cajun box and a triple row for some Tex Mex..( that's mostly what I mess around with playing)..
Will check your MySpace out too for dates.
If ever want some Italian grub.. my dear friend Bernardo Cinquetti has a small italian restaurant called Pasta e Fagioli.. and he loves Tex Mex.. will send address or details if you are interested. Maybe he could use some Cajun cooking lessons !
Was great meeting you and the gang last year in Saulieu.. and great hearing of your news..
Thanks for the update, it's good to hear from you. I can imagine making a living with music is difficult. I don't play out as much as I used to but playing for 12 hours total on weekends was wearing thin on my patience and love of music.
Hey, your dad is building me a lowwww G accordion. Getting it in June and I'm so looking forward to it. It'll growl like a bull dog!
Anyway, take it easy. Hit me up on myspace, I miss hearing from you!
You and your wife are definitely going to have to come by one night to Jockomo or something to see us. We're actually going to be in Paris the dates you're here. And I'd love to go by and jam some Tex-Mex for your friend, so send that address along whenever!
Ron, I don't want to become deaf and I have a very distinctive tast
Besides, that time of the year I am normally busy reading graduation thesises and checking exams. So...
It is the accordion player in her band who can play this 'He Mom', I am comin' for.
Ron ?!, I KNOW she is coming with her band (actually I checked the festival menu). I like the accordion players accordion, nice wood. But on stage you won't see that.
where can I sleep? Is it a good camping ground?

We are playing both June 7 and 8 at Raamsdonksveer, and I think we're even doing two different sets on the 7th. They asked us which slots we wanted and I said, "All of them." Glad they took me seriously and I'm really looking forward to it!
We'll also be all over England if any of you are there this summer.
We'll be coming with a different fiddler than we usually play with, but this other guy totally rocks too. I'd better get to work learning Hé Mom, I guess. It's not in my repertoire and I'm not sure I have his version, but I'll find it.
Oh, yeah, ok, Gus, then in that case I know it... "Hé Mom, a ou toi'tais, chere Mom..." Yep, you got it, but you'll have to remind me before 'cause I'm always forgetting stuff like that. We're going to play twice on the 7th and once (at noon) on the 8th, so I'm sure I'll work it into one of those!! REALLY looking forward to it.
Nice to see you online again. It was great to chat with you before. Me and my friend in Minnesota, and you in Russia. I need to check out your Myspace site again, do you have the new songs there? This is quick response so you may have already mentioned it.
Oh yea, check out my YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/bayoudancer Besides the 6 video that I've got loaded up, I have links to over 100 other Cajun & Creole zydeco videos. I shot a cool video of Balfa Toujours along with members of the New Riverside Rambers, here in town, at Cedar Cultural Center.
Gotta get going, all ya'll take care,
David, a bayou dancer...
