Dudes dressed alike, having fun together. Like a sausage festival without the rice.

Perhaps look around on youtube?

here's one by Hunter Hayes:

Well, as for Jambalaya versus Cajun; a fiddling friend once mentioned the original song, Grand Texas, is a little different and might be more down to earth Cajun music to begin with and more interesting ?



Eddie Lejeune recorded a nice version too ... - Nout

Great version, good twostepping. I had always thought it was very hard to play this one "Cajun" style, but this sounds good! What's the name of that band?

Re: Song I would like to see played by some:

According the Youtube poster: Bélisaire au "Liberty Theater" de Eunice, Louisiane.

There's a French band called by that name, might be them. The accordion player looks a bit younger here than the one i met at the jams in Saulieu, and the fiddle player looks as the same feller too .... Marc maybe knows if it's the same band? They played at the Raamsdonksveer Festival last year, good show ... http://groupebelisaire.free.fr/

Re: Song I would like to see played by some:

Yes, it's Bélisaire.
I like their accordion version of the old fiddle tune "Breakdown à Pete" (and never succeeded in playing it as fast as him).
