Brett...we just got home to Australia...dang! I knew we should have stayed in Eunice another couple of weeks !! We went to the Festival way back in 2001 and really enjoyed it.
Zydeco Joe was workin' hard in the heat pumpin' out Jack Rabbit, Mon Kushon Pu Twa, etc., ( vale Joe ). I still remember Classie Ballou backing him and his unique Bass Guitar playing style!

Just a short note to say also that your Youtube site is a a credit to you....the LIVE music videos,the instructional videos, the information updates ,the links, etc. are fantastic..well done.
It sure helps us Aussies keep in touch with what's going on and as we're frequent travellers to Louisiana it has double relevance.
