Sad that none of my friends know about this awesome genre of music. It's not something I listen to all the time, but everytime I come back to it, I'm pleased.

[@Darkcoffeee]

Man I know no one else my age is gonna appreciate this music but I thought that was awesome

[@kiaweking]

I heard him perform at the Crown Room in Hilo some years ago. Absolutely amazing!!!Not a soul within earshot could sit still. This music makes the feet want to move some... Aloha from Hawaii, Thomas

[@tvoegele8535]

[@wrathsblood]

I saw this cat play at Warmdaddy's in Philadelphia last night! What a fantastic performer and a great talent! Made my night!

[@slideharp1]

Terrific!..I toured with CJ, summer '95 - best Party music I ever played - Jamie Kelly and Harry Hippolite on guitars.....this band Boogies! nice one, CJ.

CJ got that accordian smokin' like no other! Love that Zydeco! Thanks for the vid PHUBB

[@daveatlast]

Cool. Neat thing: in the middle of the song, he does another song. He does the instrumental part of an old song called, "In the summertime," by Mungo Jerry. It come out in 1970 -- in the summertime.

[@Xenotropos]

Best reason to give your kids accordion lessons EVER!

[@wanaa66]

My dad took me to a CJ show in belgium a couple of years back. My dad always takes me to jazz and blues shows in the Banana Peel bar. I saw lot's of people play there like Mojo Buford

[@xz4q18]

This was the hd of 2006 on youtube..I am so impressed..

[@claudiasmemaw]

A previous poster asked what meaning & importance this has for the world. I might just as well ask what meaning & importance to the world HE has. IF he has to ask, it means nothing & will continue to mean nothing. To those who care about culture, heritage, language, music it's very important. We care about the sights, sounds, smells, traditions & tastes these people brought with them, incorporate & perpetuate. They teach us. Creoles, Cajuns (I DO get terminology mixed up) & others are part of the fabric that is America. We APPRECIATE their contribution. Could I have lived without my teeny, teeny, tiny bit of knowledge? Yes, but not as well; not NEARLY as well.

[@johns6658]

claude, Very very well put. Maybe your questioner can be saved yet. P.S. a vacation in New Orleans was a real delight.

[@Karcsubey]

Great!!! I remember C.J. in Izmir, Turkey..... appr. 10 years ago he appeared on EFES International Blues Festival, in Hotel Hilton ball room.....

[@PHubb]

Awesome! Zydeco's cool!

[@34Packardphaeton]

Stupid me for passing this live performance that took place less than twenty miles from where I live. I didn't know about it . . . probably because I don't read The Providence Journal anymore, even though it's a better paper than the Boston Globe.

[@eddiered10001]

accordion and drums great

[@eddgong]

This is an old video but if anyone in CJ's band tell that man on bass Im forgetting the name right we just called him "Cousin It" tell the boy hi ,from and old misplaced coona** in Las Vegas aint seen mud in 33 years , tell him Sam's Town "Launi Kristopher" band 1993-4-5

[@psaint60]

Ha! I sent this to my brother and told him if anyone is looking for Paul Williams, we found him. 🤣

[@rikotis]

WOW!!!!!

[@jimsteele2072]

I think the clock on de wall say "It's Mardi Gras time!"

[@scottmorel7535]

I like the Mungo Jerry solo.

[@Bowser1948]

wonderful ...even with the Mungo Jerry riff

[@martinevans123]

just totally cooking this is what rock'n'roll would sound like if it had a bit of added hot Frenchaise soul. or maybe it is!

[@mississippisheik1]

This band completely kicks ass especially in the latter part of the song...it rocks way beyond anything guys like Clapton or any other white boys can even copy...

[@Mrtiguan09]

Nice

[@isabell5506]

👍👍👍

[@oldhickorys1]

I-E!

[@HansWernerLink]

I didn't see CJ there. What meaning or importance does this have for the world?

[@psaint60]

Anybody know if Tim Betts is any relation to Dickie Betts?

[@Mimijohnsoneosdgs]

There are some place or site about the zydeco's history?

[@roquelazarus]

hey

[@ELVALYKKEGAARD]

[@nutindoin1]

[@LICherrygirl]

[@LarzGustafsson]

Too much rock'n'roll for my taste.

[@a-listercrowley2737]

[@loveracing25]

I'm from New Orleans and I have to agree. There is an all zydeco radio station I only hear between Lafayette and Lake Charles (Bayou Country)
