Re: Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival

Horace Trahan is an EXCELLENT cajun musician. He has suffered some type of mental breakdown in recent years. "the butt thing" song, Horace basically gave the rights away to the song. On the drinking and smoking, Horace says it is not what goes in your mouth (liquor, tobacco )that defiles you, it is what comes out.

Re: Re: Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival

yea after watching his video "hard pressed but never crushed" it does seems like he has suffered some sort of mental breakdown....alot of confusion with religion especially...which in itself can make you crazy if you let it....its kinda sad to see this though...its like losing another iry lejuene or something...

but i guess as long as he is happy with himself who are we to say what he plays and as he says in the movie "don't worry about horace"...i just wish he make ONE more traditional cd , i've played ossun blues ATLEAST once per day since i got it lol

does anyone know if he recorded that one zydeco song from the movie yet?...i think its called "the foreman" by clifton chenier...love that song.
