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.
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.
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.
