Good to see an article on "Cajun country" in May edition of Smithsonian magazine. Nothing new for the folks here, but still good to see. Bottom line: Hard work and good times with friends.

Re: Smithsonian

Hey, Craig--Have you got a link where I could find the article? I'd be interested in reading it and, quite obviously, can't pick up the magazine anywhere in Russia...

Back in 1988 I had the pleasure of talking to Eddie LeJune at the Smithsonian Folk Life Fest in DC. I had listened to Cajun music before, But I was curious about that box!
What an introduction.
