      Isnt it fun to just discover a whole new genre of music? And to think its 100% American and 100% Louisiana.
      I havent had a big musical awakening in awhile. I need to keep my ears open because im ready for something new :)

      Plenty of good food and good music - you can't possibly go wrong.

    Will always remember the years I lived in New Orleans and a few other spots in SE Louisiana. It’s a place like no other with people like nowhere else. Still tugs at my heart five years after leaving even though I’m now in NYC which has the same effect. It’s like being in love with two women at once equally

      I ate the food for 39 years, thanks to my Grandma Inez. Butter, salt, garlic, bacon grease and hot sauce make everything taste good and must be good for you, because she lived to 103! I was fortunate to have her write all of her recipes down for me while she still could. I've managed to perfect the red beans and rice, so far...

    So joyous and celebratory. Happy and uplifting tunes. Accordion, fiddle, banjo, guitar, upright bass, trombone, harmonica, snare drum, tuba... happy, happy, happy. I'm here listening to Conan O'brien's podcast saying he got his band for the show based on them playing a Cajun style tune. It fits his playful personality. I didn't know what Cajun was and typed it into youtube and this came up. Awesome! It's like a celebration of the simple pleasures in life but in a positive way. Food, drink, dance, song, friendship, musical joy. There's not a hint of angst or darkness in it at all. Great for the soul.

  • @deuxtroismoi
    @deuxtroismoi 3 місяці тому

    I'm watching northen exposure on prime and they use this type of music. I think that's one reason people loved it so much. I could never identify the music when the show aired since the interweb was not available to the public back in the day.
    The close captioning told me the genre today 30 years later!! so I popped on here to find more.
    This type of music was also prominent in the twin peaks series, which I have tried to schzam with little luck. So I'm glad prime has northern exposure. It took 6 seasons for the cc to pop up the genre.
    I have to say I do love this type of music.
    However to me, it's more like polka music.. I have family in Europe and the polka music is inescapable. And I'm not complaining!!!! This zydeco music definitely has that polka sound and you just wanna get up and dance. It's so happy sounding. And that type of music is my favourite
