[@kitchensisters]

Thank you all for digging into the extraordinary world of Ann Savoy with us. What a woman, what a creative force, what a musician and loving soul.

Many years ago I saw a German film about an accordion player who came from a small village in East Germany. He was granted a wish by his villager.He was the only one who was allowed to fly with his accordion to Louisiana/USA.He had a wonderful time there with a beautiful music.This was his love Cajun music and he died happy with this music.I never heard this music again and then, years later, the Savoy family and i saw ANN SAVOY on the right. I think the music of the family is very beautiful but it was only with this film that I realized the importance of Ann Savoy - a great musician!

Beautiful harmony with Linda Rhonstadt!

I listen to Evangeline Made every day at work.

While I dearly admire Marc Savoy for his artistry and work, I never until now have been given a glimpse of Ann. I see her onstage, in videos....but nothing more. What a treat. Thank you for this lovely gift...

A heart nourishing mini autobiography! Well accompanied by your drawings. And the glimpses of music!

Ann, this is so moving. Love you.

[@KirkJones_kingbee]

Love the illustrations. They are so alive. Don't stop.

Just discovered the Savoy family and this video is a gem! Thank you.

[@blairkilpatrick4153]

Even better viewing this the second time around! Especially love the part that is new to me: the beautiful illustrations in Ann's journals!

Fascinating!

[@PatakaisseTV]

c'est un très bon reportage, très bien documenté sur le personnage le plus attachant du sud de la Louisiane

[@jimfrederich8852]

What great talent you and your family have! I would like to learn more about the Cajun people and their culture.

[@CajunMonarch]

What would you like to know? My great great aunt was the first female cajun musician.

Vida e história fantástica. Parabéns!!

[@terrybrock5098]

My first experience is from the Linda Ronstadt album she shared with and now captivated by her music.

[@dulcimerdanpei]

Just saw the world premier of the musical" Evangeline" up here on PEI,Very moving story. Touches my heart just as you and your family's music does.

So I come to this years later. I am from the UK and watched a TV programme called "Ali Bain meets the Cajuns" about 20 years ago. I loved the music and it has remained with me. I play the CD but wish I had the DVD. I remember the Savoy contribution - I cannot find the song with the words "Dimanche a midi...". Anyway watching this video has been illuminating seeing Ann"s (if I may be so bold - I am British donch'a know) story.

Anne is great.

[@nikkis.888]

This is such an insightful look into the matriarch of one if the long-time premiere Cajun family bands in Louisiana, but yet this video can't be viewed by the people this story is dearest to... The Louisiana Cajuns themselves. Despicable if anyone is asking me. Great video, kitchen sisters! Long time fan from your NPR radio segment (miss it!)

[@kirneyc.thibodeaux649]

Ann.....just wanted to say hi to you and Marc. Charles Thibodeaux.

Cajun music is similar to Irish folk and traditional music. For Example Sharon Shannon.
