Please make America like this again!!!! please please god!!!!!! Love from Russia1!

I traveled around the USA in 1982 for a year, and the nicest warmest people I met were in Louisiana and Mississippi. Kiaora from Aotearoa New Zealand.

What is so fantastic about this entire video is the fact that Mr. Menard's musicians are young folks. Young folks to keep the values and traditions of South Louisiane going!!

I just found in 2023. I love it!! God bless you and hello from North Dakota.

He is playing with four kids. Goes to show the vitality of his music and his attitude. Great smiles.

Cajun music can make your day wonderful! So pure and unique...never tire of hearing it. Thank you all & keep playing!

One of the so many cultures in the US with their own great style of music. Love it.

The best Cajun song of all time !!! 🤘

One of the greatest cajun songs ever made, Thanks D.L.

Just found this in 2019. Can’t stop watching this. The purity of young and old playing music together so carefree in a backyard is just so beautiful.

Went to Mr. Menard's house in 1992 or so to interview him for a project on Louisiana history. He was very kind, and sang for us live in his living room!

The sound quality is incredible...great musicianship !

Wow. Thank you, Mr. Menard for all your wonderful songs and carrying the flag for Cajun Music. R.I.P.

Tres bien, merci tous! Best regards from Sweden!

Rip D.L.....no doubt you entered heaven through front door...

Man there would be no other place to be but dancin in front of those great sounds...a perfect day...

J'aime ca beaucoup! Il y a quelques annees j'ai habite a Pierre Part, Louisiana et j'ecoutais souvent a cette musique. La Louisiane et ces gens me manquent beaucoup! Merci bien, mes amis!

I am of Acadian descent from Canada. The Cajuns are our cousins. D.L. Menard's 'Back Door' sounds so much like Acadian music. All the same musical instruments are used. August 15 is the Acadian National Festival. The Cajuns are just as much a part of it.

Beautiful. Nice blend of tradition and youth, great mixing of generations.

Doris Leon "D.L." Menard (1932-2017) was a legend of Cajun Music. This rendition of his trademark two-step song is quintessential, because it shows how he passed on his music with heart and soul to the generation of grandchildren. Just look at how capable, but humble the young musicians play up to him. It is as if they felt, that even this giant would not cast his shadow on the Earth forever.

A legendary song by the Cajun legend himself; D.L. Menard!

As an old (73+) man from Texarkana, my kinship with La. runs deep. As it does for Tx., Ar., & Ok. Watch the singers. They play because of love & family, and love of life. America can learn by watching Cajun Music & and how to live a full life. Does DL look like he's ready to slow down and find a rocking chair? LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!

I love the accordion music by Mr. Mennard.

Great artist ,lots of talent..superb.....Greetings from Ireland

This is a gem, I listen to it often in these times of covid.

WOW! What a treat! Menard is one of the greats of American music, and it is wonderful to know that he's still in top form. Thanks!

Cajuns are awesome.Thank you.Good music,good people and good food.

No doubt, the best version I´ve ever heard of his Backdoor! Legend... Love the combination with L'Angelus.... Incredibly good...

Whoever recorded this and posted it, thank you. I am a lot of your views.

Cajun singers have a damn unique voice. I can't get enough, how come in Mexico we didn't have this!!!!!! sound like we could probably collaborate on something.

In January 1992, when my first grandchild was born, I went out to Erath and got a rocking chair from D.L. so the baby's mama could rock when she nursed. A great experience with a great musician.

Monsieur Ménard, you make great music, love the fiddle.

My all time favorite Cajun song, by one the greatest ever Cajun singers!

Thanks for the note. This is the third year we have played in D.L.'s backyard but the first time I recorded all the tracks. It's a great sounding space! I'm thinking we might do a 3 camera HD shoot sometime soon. Bearcat745

I love Louisiana and the Cajun culture ! This song and video makes me proud to be an American !!!

Amazing how young and old can play together so well

A totally unique culture...keeping it alive!

Thank you, Mr Menard. RIP sir.

I am born and raised in Missouri but I love anything and everything to do with Cajun.

I love Cajun Music since 1963 and this is great stuff!

If anyone could listen to this music and sit perfectly still... they must be dead. This sound makes me want to move. Love it.

This gives me chills! These guys are so young but super talented! It's obvious DL is having a great time. Let's all pray these youngsters carry on the rich tradition of the finest music of all.

OH, YES MY MAN THATS REAL MUSIC , RAY TWELVE STRINGS U.K ,BRILLIANT BAND , 🎉🎉

RIP Mr. DL your music will live forever ! Thank you

Legendary song from the legendary D.L. Menard with L'Angelus thrown in, it doesn't get any better than this.

Real songs on real instruments. The best.

this is actually my cousin, he was my great grandmothers cousin and it’s like his musical talent has passed through the whole family

Man I love this music y'all. I used to go to Louisiana every weekend to fight birds when it was legal. Miss those days!

I saw him at the World's Fair in New Orleans in 1984. Rest in peace, monsieur!!

Wow! Such an amazing performance! Great! That young fiddler is very talented, too. God bless, Brother Charlie

The music is awesome! Sorry to find this 12 years later on KZfaq.

Love the Cajun accent. And the music is phenomenal.

Just superb. I can't listen enough. I grew up Cajun, because mom was. Spoke French until she was 9. Grew up listening to it all, especially Aldus Roger. I had the honor of meeting DL, and so did mom. They spoke Cajun to each other for about 1/2 hour. A really, really, really class act.

Had an uncle, Milton Touchet, who died in '08 and after his wake and his Catholic mass we gathered in the cemetery of the Catholic church in Erath, La for his burial. I never experienced this before but a man sang a French song for my uncle at his casket. Didn't know the words of the song since I don't speak French but I later learned that the man who sang the French song was the one & only D. L. Menard. Obviously they both knew each other and it was a great honor for my uncle to be sang a song at his burial by the great Cajun musician D. L. Menard.

Makes me cry. I miss what was.

R.I.P. DL. Thanks for the tunes.

This is AWESOME music, and I love this guy. Cant understand a damned thing he saying, but that's what makes the Cajuns so unique, keeps mystery in the world. Greetings from the swamps of the Eastern Shore of Maryland!!!!

AWESOME. DL Looks VERY good still and as always is a true showman and a perfect gentleman. Still plays tight and his voice is still strong. And the rest of your band is just as tight and sound GREAT. Thanks for posting this.

This is why I love Louisiana and always will

I'm real happy to see that young man carry on their tradition

Haha agreed! Not just bc I’m a Cajun myself but my pawpaw “Belizaire” who barely spoke English was close friends with Menard and the back door was his all time favorite song! It was on the radio constantly growing up!

I've met DL on many occasions. He's great company.

Upeaa-great!🇺🇸🇺🇸 Kiitos-Thanks!🇫🇮🇫🇮

How cool is it to see youngsters performing with this legend! He's still kicking strong! Lâches-pas la patate DL!

RIP, DL. One of the great musicians and great men of Acadiana. Just heard the news of his passing, and there's a hole in my heart (but a DL chair in my living room, so I'll never forget him)>

I have probably watched and listened to this video 50 times. Thanks so much for posting it.

Thank you Mr. Menard my momma's favorite song was rainbow at midnight and I know she would love this song also. She's where the French side of me comes in Thank you for sharing your gift song

Marvellous! Marvellous! Marvellous! 1000 times! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️

I love this music, 1st time I've ever met D.L. was in San Diego Ca. in 1995/96, at the county fair my heritage my music !!!

Great fiddle player - in the right hands a good ol' two-step can rock!

Was told about this today. Don't understand or speak French but what a nice song . Love the tempo.

Every time i play this video, i enjoy like the first time... the kid really rules the fiddle!

View this regularly. Gosh, I miss D.L. He appeared live regularly on Lafayette TV in the early morning hours back in the 1980's. Certainly miss Erath, Delcambre, Abbeville, and most of all, Forked Island. Sadly, stuck up here in North Alabama...

Love me some Cajun music

I had the pleasure of meeting this man before he died. I was young, no older than 15 or 16, so i guess i didn't realize how amazing that was. Looking back though, I wish i had talked to him more, because I would have been so interested to hear what he had to say

Oh Man, I just love this!! Playing outside is not so easy but DL & Company do a Great job on this Classic. I could listen to this days non - Stop!!! I love it!!! ❤❤❤😂😅

My favourite cajun song and favourite cajun singer - fabulous to see and hear!

Vraiment sympa. La musique efface les frontières et la culture résiste au temps. Thanks for this post !

DL Rest in Peace.

Thank you. I like the music. ❤🙏🥰🙋 Charlotte and Roz are in Oregon and California. Roz is a sister

My kids: Turn it off Me: Why??? My kids: We have BIGGER speakers upstairs (Best kids ever!!)

A new treasure to be savored, L'Angelus....young, very talented and inspired, ( the fiddle player is great )
