    I grew up in south Texas. My father played accordion and we listened to a LOT of conjunto music, but also a lot of Cajun/zydeco music. We have a number of Clifton’ s albums. To this day my dad and I will occasionally say “this is my gee-tar player Paul Senegal, this is my uhDRumma’, Robert saint julie, and we also have jumpin’ Joe Morris on base”…… also listened to Guns N’ Roses, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Elvis, Hip Hop, etc, but I’m so grateful to know this music. Clifton and Cleveland, Professor Longhair, Dr. John and on and on. Thank you dad!

    No more "Americana" than a dance in Haiti would be "Americana," we were here before the United States existed, much less before they bought us.
