Re: Audiences dwindling down

Even here in SW Louisiana, the audiences are dying off. That's right the Cajuns that enjoy going out to dance aren't going out as much because they have finally started to give in to the simple fact that there's not much reason to go out and celebrate anymore. They see their children struggling with money, family drama, job loss, freak accidents, politics, insurance cost, food cost, supplies cost, etc. and their outlook on life is affected by all this. The baby boomer generation and older are the one's who are most likely to attend Cajun dances. You can only ignore that gaping wound in your leg for so long before it forces you to pay attention to it. Death is a big deterrant to having good times. Bad times are also a deterrant to having good times.
