Jole Blon is a traditional cajun waltz, often called "the cajun national anthem" because of the popularity it had in cajun culture. The song was then later popularized on a nationwide scale by a series of renditions and references in late '40s country songs.
Re: Early Cajun Music: "Jole Blon" - Harry Choates
I'm really liking the music of Harry Choates. Such a bummer about him. Ya have to wonder what other music that the likes of Harry or Iry Lajeune could have made had they lived on.
