And RIP Chris Stafford, Lafayette area Cajun musician and founding member of Feufollet, who has died young as the result of an automobile accident. I am spacing out on the name of an older Cajun musician who recently died as well.

I like this Folkways doc about Ann Savoy and her latest album. It’s her life story- Richmond photographer/ folk singer who moves with her Mom to Europe after her Dad dies young and unexpectedly. Her seeing art and getting into music there and learning French. Then her coming back and discovering Cajun music and culture and getting enamored with Louisiana musician farmer Marc Savoy and they creating a life and family together. She continues to make music and do photography and more the whole time

seeing on Facebook there was a big fest up in New England somewhere yesterday plus I think some recent gigs in NYC. Alas, there are some Louisiana and Texas zydeco bands busy working dayjobs as well who can't afford to take time off and play gigs elsewhere
