Re: video of San diego Cajun Playboys with my Martin

Yeah, I remember when Joel went back to Louisiana (little, teeny town, but I don't remember the name), but I thought Jon also left some time later. I *think* it was somewhere in Texas, maybe where his wife was from? Oh well, it is of little importance. But I thought that was why they only get together once in a while.

Recorded on iPhone 4? Wow - it came out quite well.

See you Wednesday

I see Joel a lot down here, he's a regular at a lot of jams. He is an excellent musician and one of the best cajun vocalist you will ever hear. I spoke to him just this past Friday and he was telling me he still has his house in Coteau Homes but I think he said he also rents a house in Lafayette.

Jon,
I never met Joel. Tell him, "Hi" for the guys in the band. He and Jon Grant did some harmony singing on Small Town Two Step.
I really liked the way Joel sang "Juste un Reve" ( Jusque un Reve- in Acadia), which is why I asked for the lyrics on this forum some weeks back.
I've 'bout worn thru that CD. I can hear every lick of the accordion parts in my head. Just can't play them quite yet!

I had a chance to see the SD Cajun Playboys play at the War Memorial auditorium in San Diego. They were great. The dance was put on by the Bon Temps Social Club. Great group. I had an excellent time that night. If any Braves happen to visit So Cal, please check out this band. You will be glad you did.
