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!

Bass is too often drowned out. Your dancers are clearly enjoying and appreciating the smooth vocals and perfect beat which is easy to keep.
