"Cajun music, is that grandma's jewelry that you keep polishing, and polishing; it just gets better, and better" Very insightful statement. We honor those that came before us, by sharing the 'jewelry' that they gave us. Also, I like how you make heart-felt connections with the locals, when you visit a location. Thank you for this.
I love this episode (which I edited) so much. Every sequence ROCKS, because every PERSON in their sequence rocks. I just want to mention that Ann Savoy, who represents The Magnolia Sisters in the final sequence, has many albums of her own - and "Adieu, False Heart" is a collaboration with Linda Ronstadt - her last recording. Go find it. ENJOY OUR WORK!
As a fellow Louisianan (Alexandria), i recently saw Samantha on a public broadcasting channel and thought long and hard to myself where I've seen you before. I remember what seems like an eternity, you were on the Travel Channel years ago and one day you disappeared into an oblivion. Then recently i saw you again and you haven't aged at all.
About an hour and a half to two hours from my front door, depending upon traffic. Lafayette is so underrated and my favorite city in my home state. Thanks for getting the word out, Samantha.
This video brought a tear to my eye. With a mix of pride. My dear loving Grandmother Lorina was born in Louisiana who since have passed away some years ago. This great presentation of the people, the culture, the overall general life of Louisiana is spot-on. Dear Samantha Brown thank you for this reflection of family, home, and of its unending true love.
Lafayette and Acadiana is the Louisiana I love! World class cuisine, the friendliest people, a festival just about every weekend, and live music and dancing is a way of life. When you go again make it in April for Festival International de Louisiane or in October for Festivals Acadiens Et Creoles in October. I hope you had a wonderful dinner at Charley G's and ice cream at the world's last remaining Borden's Ice Cream Shoppe! This boy might still be there had a woman from Santa Fe not caught his eye.
As a Houston native with a family farm in Louisiana, this makes me homesick! My husband and I moved to Spokane, WA early this year and we love the Inland Northwest but I sure do miss home.
I found Love in Lafayette, Broussard Nearby !! Married 22 yrs. Believe it or not, an America Online date. ...when dial-up American Online was the whole of the internet. Traveled From Seabrook, TX to Lafayette for an oilfield trade show. I love everything about Lafayette. Little Big City with all the Cajun culture.
How different the lives of folk in Lafayette, Louisiana, from my home in Pitkin County, Colorado. I first heard a zydeco band at a summer concert at the Denver Botanic Gardens, and, I was in love. On the long, long winter nights, snow deep, I think of a balmy Louisiana and the food. The music. Heck, even the gators. (But mostly the food.)
Dear Samantha, I commend you for bringing attention to an area of the country where it is so wonderful, to see everyone smiling and truly enjoying family and friends. I would love to experience their very special way for life and look forward to planning a visit. During what month did you visit? Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for a segment that highlights the very best of the human spirit. One that had such a positive impact on my heart and soul..
Nice to get outside your regular "comfort zone" isn't it? I've been to Louisiana a few times and it is a fun place with awesome people. Just make sure you don't bring those "Northern ideas" down with you. Quickest way to get run out of town is wearing the wrong hat for your sports team. I'm very happy that some people from Louisiana have moved my way in Texas and opened up shop. Because that means I don't have to drive 3-10 hours to go enjoy some really awesome cajun/creole food or some of the awesome Jazz/Cajun/Creole/Zydeco music.
My lineage is with the Ponthieu family even though my surname has no "u" on the end dates back to about 1050 A.D. in France but i H-A-T-E cajun french (singing). Please play cajun/creole r&b aka Zydeco or don't bother.
John 3:16 Context 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
if earth rotates on it's axis west to east then how come waves always flow from the oceans towards the lands regardless of the oceans being to the east west north or south of the lands instead the waves should flow in the opposite direction of the earth's rotation ?

Love me some SB, she has an incredibly attractive attitude, and zest for being in the moment of the story. This was so good.
Thank you for capturing the true Cajun culture…there’s no place like home!❤
Thank you!

@RealSamanthaBrown It seems very cozy very family oriented, I can see why you loved it.

The waves are going in all directions… the ones you see hit land are the ones heading toward land. Deeeeep thoughts…
