Re: Rendez-vous des Cajuns: Travis Benoit and Allons Danser

Yes, as noted below, Ken Guillory makes the La Louisiane...he learned from Laten Miller, also from Lake Charles. I own a La Louisiane in Bb; nice accordion. Others who have had or continue to play his accordions are Sean Vidrine and Aaron Istre.

It's interesting, my 5 year old had an incredible response to Travis Benoit. We were listening on the radio, and he'd cheer and clap at the end of every song...which is funny, because he doesn't do that for every Cajun band he hears. He apparently has very discerning tastes.
