  • Cajun music as played by some of its most influential 20th century practitioners, Dewey Balfa, Sady Courville, and Dennis McGee. This is a story I did for the Today Show in 1981 as part of my "On the Record" music series. Cajun music, Cajun food, and Cajun hospitality were available in abundance that week I spent in Louisiana filming the story and I reveled in all of it.

    Oh Carol, how I remember hearing these wonderful old songs, even if I didn't
    speak the 'french', my Dad did, and he was born in Eunice in the 1800s, and
    I was born in Opelousas...........I am proud to be Cajun, and would love to live
    those wonderful days again............

    Washington, LA was Established in 1720, thank you. Before that period, a navigable stream called the Opelouslas River was established as a shipping channel from the Red River. The first arrivals as recorded by Mgsnr. Fontenot, arrived in the early 16th Century!!!! Many natives and settlers accounted for these trade routes.

    My Dad was born in the Eunice area, my G-ma ran a boarding house there
    years later...........she didn't speak a word of English. Ignore ugly comments,
    would love to 'go back'..........Grandfather had a place on Indian Village....

    Nice story. Hard to tell much in a short spot, but this was good. I am an old Cajun from a little town near Eunice. My oldest child was born in Eunice.
    I apologize for the ugly and off-color remarks made in previous posts. There are ugly/mad people in every community, I expect. Most of us (Cajuns) are not.

    2 comments; ruzphi, these aren't ordinary French these were Acadians that got kicked out of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 1755 and re- settled in Southern Louisiana (thus more robust)....Canadian French they still kicked german butt in WW1 and WW2.

    YOU'RE helping represent our country. You're saying its okay to act like them just because they do? I thought in 'murica we create our own way of life, not follow in some other country's.
