My dad led a couple of songs on his accordion. He did a great job! He's a natural.

The listeners. On the counter behind them, you can find Community Coffee, boudin, and cracklins. They don't allow any donuts.

Me and my guitar friend. He started playing guitar when he was seventy years old. I followed his hand patterns to catch on to a song...and he let me know when a quick change was coming.

Guitar friend (I didn't get his name...can you believe that?!). The guy on the fiddle is Milton (I think), and he is the leader of this group. When I thanked him as we were leaving, he said, "Music is for everybody...even the birds..." and he flapped his arms in the air like wings :)

The boy on the piano is 10 years old. And he is blind. He plays here every Saturday.

At Vermillionville (Lafayette). The lady with the accordion is Sheryl Cormier...she was just inducted into the Cajun French Music Association Hall of Fame. The guy standing (with the cap) is her husband, and he has a great singing voice...he puts his heart in it. The guy in front on guitar is 84 yrs old today. We played him HB in a Cajun waltz. He lost his wife 5 months ago yesterday..he said this is his "terapy". On the right is an upright bass and a dancing couple.
