And this one. Leaves one to wonder if it was a song Cajunized or they just have the same roots.

But the story Dewey sings is more fun and interesting!

Re: Isom Fontenot and singer

I don't know about the words, but the tune is an Old-Time tune. Various names are Jack O' Diamonds, Rye Whiskey, and Drunken Hiccups. The tune has been recorded by many, many musicians. Some are slow and some are fast.

Jesse is the real deal. Few around like him. Great player and an even greater man...

Don't really post much, but when I heard this, I thought of you Bryan
Go to about 9:40...Isom called it Les Filles à Benglais

Re: Jess Lege

Wow, thanks, Jordy. I had listened to that video a couple times and didn't catch that. I love harmonica in Cajun music, and feel it is a dying art. Mr. Isom was the master.
