- The Eunice two step, an Amede Ardoin classic done superbly by Geno. Acadia.

We had the chance to see them perform and on break I danced with Geno a bit, what a gracious gent. I kept up as well as possible and wow was I glad I'd studied French. Lol. Fun times. Tres bon.

- Acadiana (French & Louisiana French: L'Acadiane): the official name given to the French Louisiana region that has historically contained much of the state's Francophone population. Many are of Acadian descent & now identify as Cajuns or Louisiana Creoles. Of the 64 parishes that make up the U.S. state of Louisiana, 22 named parishes & other parishes of similar cultural environment make up this intrastate region..

1. Zydeco is such awesome, infectious, happy music!

Discovered Zydeco at NOLA Jazz fest in 2005, wow what a happy discovery. When we were still going, we always set up our chairs in front of the Fais Do Do stage (zydeco & cajun music) because there is so much great music there. I look forward to one day it being safe to go there again, so I can feast on the awesome food and my soul can feast on the wonderful music. They always have great blues bands there too and some major shows as well, like Elton John, Jimmy Buffet, Fleetwood Mac, Green Day, Santana etc. etc.

2. Zydeco is fantastic, I love New Orleans from the

one time I visited and experienced its charm, food, history and vibes. What a culturally rich country we live in. I never attended a music festival in NOLA but would like to return and do that.

You're lucky to have enjoyed great music and treasures that the great city and area offer. I also hope things improve somehow.. (I saw Geno Delafose perform in Md.).

3. Hopefully we can both go again and experience that amazing culture, music & food.
