I was just curious to see if anyone knows of any cajun events going on here in the Houston area, such as dances, dance lessons, accordion lessons, etc. I am from Louisiana and I just moved here about 6 months ago. Its just getting too expensive to drive to LA every weekend to listen to a good cajun or zydeco band. I think I remember someone saying that there was a VFW hall somewhere here in Houston that played cajun music but I could be wrong. If anyone knows of any info or websites that I can visit, I would surely appreciate it. Thank you so much.

The Houston Heritage Chapter of the Cajun French Music Association has a meeting and dance on the 2nd Sunday of each month at the K of C Lodge # 2917, 607 E Whitney, Houston TX 77022. Next Dance Feb. 9th, Ed Gary and the Cajun Aces and an additional dance on the 4th Sunday, Feb 23, with Rodney Miller and Cajun Born. Dances start at 7:30 PM; $ 8.00 per person. BYOB

Also forgot to mention that one of the regular contributors to this forum, and a kickass musician to boot, lives in Katy, TX. I am referring of course to the well-known Cory MaCauley. Reach Cory at evangelineaces@hotmail.com. (hope I spelled that right) He not only can tell you what it is with the Houston Cajun scene, he can also plan your financial future, as well.
