On Chris Miller's cd he mentions a man named Bashoot LeBlanc playing harmonica. I believe he was from around Iowa or maybe Lacassine.
Isom Fontenot was from the Mamou area. Not sure which town. If you are interested in his playing, see the Website link above for an Arhoolie cd, Folksongs of the Louisiana Acadians. Great album! If I were ever cornered into naming some essential recordings that I would need if I were stranded on a desert island, this album would certainly be on my list. He does one of my favorite versions of T'en a eu, T'en auras pus. And the one on the cd called Fiddle Stomp with Cheese Read and Isaac Soileau is really T'en a eu, T'en auras pus. Another of my favorite versions.
I believe board member Kirk Menier is a relative, or maybe it's his wife who is related to Isom Fontenot.
Thanks also for mentioning Roy Fusilier. I am partial to those recordings, too. To me it sounds like just an accordion, fiddle, and steel guitar on Belisaire and Grands Chemins. No bottom, but very nice sounding.
Isom Fontenot was my grandfather. Kirk's wife Monica was also his grandaughter. Web surfing to find out more about him. Not that many around that remember him. He died in 1974. He is supposed to be honored in April at A Festival at Chicot Park. Trying to find out if anyone has info they could pas on to family.
