Well Cajun music has origins from the Brittany region of France which has a Celtic culture just like Scotland.

I stumbled across this video searching for french music of south Louisiana. I saw Lacassine in the post and it awoke many fond memories. When the video started I knew I hit the spot. In the mid 70s, I had two very good friends in Houston who carried me there to spend a weekend avec son amis. It was one of the best times I had ever had. They introduced me to their music, their food and their goodness. We returned many times. I remember a place where we camped called Whiskey Chitter. I loved those people. I am so lucky to have come across this video! And I will share it now. Bon temps!

Was stationed in Biloxi, MS from 69-70 (Hurricane Camille) and spent many weekends in New Orleans with a cajun friend. Learned one thing for sure, if this music doesn't get you up and moving, you are dead!!! Thank you Lee for bringing back great memories of a beautiful city and the world's most hospitable people. Keep playing forever.

I've listened to numerous different versions of this song, and I keep coming back to this one. Lee, your accordion playing is so tight and active. The rhythm section is keeping perfect time-triangle included. Keeping time like that isn't NOT as easy as it looks. As a percussionist from birth, I know this. This song is like the most beautiful metronome I've ever heard. I recently purchased an accordion just to start from scratch and try, one day in the distance future, to attempt this classic the way you do it. Thank you for sharing this!
