i am pretty sure the fiddler was the fabulous
mick kinney of atlanta

mick, coz, and tony balfa were
"coz fontenot and the metro playboys"

tony may still live here, mick definitely does,
i can give you his number if you email me

coz moved back to louisiana, eunice, i think

he;s always been coz, never carl.. far as i know..

also, he does play the fiddle but he
really wasn;t at the time that record was made

Re: the great coz!

if you ever meet coz you will be surprised

he sang all those high melodies to a d accordion
i think

so you wouldn;t expect him to be 6'4 and at
least 275 lbs but he is..

nice guy

Re: Re: the great coz!

Thanks. Yeah, I've heard Coz sing in jams, but never seen him with his band....

Re: Re: Re: the great coz!

not sure he has a band in louisiana, last time
i talked to him, he didn't.

ask coz about tony and mick..!

I met Coz at Savoys a couple years ago and have his Lundi Gras CD with the Metro Playboys. As perviously mentioned, the fiddler was Mick Kinney. He was living on the south part of Eunice then on Jelks St. We hung out with him off and on for a week. He was playing more fiddle then as his accordion was at the pawn shop. If anyone needs a house painted look Coz up. We last saw him at the tribute at the Liberty Theatre for Ken Thibodeaux. We will try and look him up when we get to Louisiana in a few weeks.

He is mentioned on page 175 on Ann's book - with a photo of "Coz's Blue Goose Lounge". I don't think I've ever heard a finer cajun singer.
