It's been 40+ years that this Yankee Boy has had a chance to enjoy Zydeco. Became interested when I was watching "The Glades" one night and thought wow brings back a lot of memories because of a Louisiana boy I had on one of my boat crews in Vietnam.

Do you or your band have a cajun music CD? Want to have it put into rotation on Cajun Music Radio?

Email me at kayra@rovin.net for information on how to get it done.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Just posted a video of Marc Savoy I made for the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Marc made the accordion for our Cajun Music exhibit, and he performed with his Savoy Family Band recently at MIM.
