Re: want to learn.

Sort of a follow-up to Peer's remarks. Every Saturday from 1:00 to 3:00 pm there is a public jam at the Vermillionville Performance Center in Lafayette (near the airport). The jam is hosted by Ray Landry who does an excellent job of running the show and adding historical commentary for the songs. Top name guest musicians lead the music, changing each week.

You don't have to play - just watch and listen. I'm not certain, but I think it is free. Even with a nominal fee, it would be a heckuva deal. Top performers, up close and personal, good music, pleasant setting. Check it out.

Re: want to learn.

Man thanks a lot for that information. I didn't know that and I live here haha. I will defiantly be attending tomorrow. Even with a fee. That kind of event is priceless. I've been to several festivals and events. You can't get close to them. My wife took a pic with Joel sonnier awhile back. And we talked to toups for a bit.

Re: want to learn.

Drew Simon and Ed Poullard at Vermilionville tomorrow!

Re: want to learn.

Sweet! Count me in. How'd you hear that?

Re: want to learn.

They will be at the jam session? 1pm -3pm?

Re: want to learn.

Yes, 1-3. Ray Landry posts the announcement weekly on his Facebook page.

Re: want to learn.

Just got home from jam sessions. Had a wonderful time. Cheryl Cormier was there drew and Ed played. Very welcoming ppl. Today is Cheryl Cormier and her husband 51 wedding anniversary.

Re: want to learn.

It was free when you bring an instrument, but the museum is very nice to visit :-)
