Early Cajun Music: "Beaumont Waltz" - Harry Choates
In the spring of 1951, Harry Choates was struggling to make payments and alcoholism was taking it's toll. He was already getting banned from some places but still was recording and many of his former musicians bailed. Familiar with the recording scene throughout Texas and after re-connecting with his good Virgil Bozman, together they set out to San Antonio to record again.
