Re: Re: Evangeline Web - a good read for all levels
Phil Underwood, who fronts the UK zydeco band Zigazag, and is a terrific C/Z accordion player, was telling me one time that he is a 'healer'. Normally, I'd file this along with cranky stuff, but Phil is a pretty straight shooter and a really nice guy. We were actually talking about the differences between Cajun and French French. He said that, although he is perfectly understood in Louisiana, when he says he is a traiteur, in France they think he is a certain kind of butcher. Babelfish translates it as Delicatesen.

Hmm. That surprised me, when I looked in my Larousse dictionary it said "traiter" is a "treater", and a "traiteur" is a caterer. I dont know enough French to know the difference in forms. Christian, Maz, Harlan.. vous atre peut m'arranger?

We call them "guérisseurs" (in France), or "magnétiseurs" sometimes.
Salut John.
