Well, thank you for that information - I did not know that. Heck, I always thought that his and Dee's store was an institution. Has he discontinued his Acadian record company also? I always made it a point to go see him when I was in Louisiana. We had a lot of great conversations talking about Cajun music. While talking, I also bought a lot of recordings from him - real Cajun music.

What's the world coming to - I will miss going to see him, just like I miss going to Mitch and Lisa Reed's store, The Music Machine, and Raccoon Records...

At least I know that the plate lunch will endure.

Yes. Unfortunately, Dee's closed shortly after Mardi Gras.

Fred said that online sales and digital downloads were killing CD sales.

I don't know if Fred is still operating his studio/record label.

It's sad, regardless.
