A few weeks ago, someone asked for the list of nominees for this year's "Le Cajun" Awards. I've posted an article and link to more information on the Cajun Sqeezebox blog (Link #1).

Enjoy!

Nice looking site.

I didn't see my name, nor the category "Most likely to improve, eventually."

That category got replaced with "Long way to Go."

And, just so you know, I'm a lock to win that one.

Hey! After less than two months, I can play five songs now. I bounce, play in octaves and other stuff too!!! Is that good enough? Maybe I can get a blue ribbon for effort or a string of Mardi Gras beads to hang around my neck. I'm probably not eligible until I own a real LA box, though.

that catagory will be replaced by: Don't give up your day job.

We've nominated you for a home visit from Guido. He will ask to see your fingers. Don't be afraid. It won't hurt after a long while.

the pine leaf boys should cleanup at the cajun grammy's. Cedric Watson is one hell of a fiddler and singer. go to pineleafboys.com and click on the liberty theater in the live footage category. Cedric is singing LA BELLE JOSETTE I think it is. great singer and fiddler.

I love "La Belle Josette." It's one of my favorite PLB songs.

That great song was first called "Madame Gallien" was recorded by Alan Lomax in 1934 in Kaplan, sung by Lanese Vincent and Sidney Richard. I think The PLB's version owes something to the Beausoliel version in the 80's which turned me on to the song.
