  1. Hype for the Future 167C: Cultural Blueprints of Saint James, Assumption, and Saint Martin Parishes

    Overview Within the State of Louisiana, the Parishes of Saint James, Assumption, and Saint Martin are often associated with the southern portion of the State and, of course, are disproportionately known for French heritage relative to much of the nation as a whole. The parishes are in the heart of Cajun Country, often away from the Mississippi River plantation estates, with the community at Pierre Part (Assumption Parish) home to the greatest French percentage of any municipality outside […]

    Be interesting to know if it’s just availability, or cost or style?

    Some of the nicest one-row so called #Cajun accordions have been custom built in #Louisiana over the years

    Not so, larger three-rows, or fully chromatic piano #accordion like Clifton Chénier played that made it possible to mix in blues and R&B to create #zydeco

    Early one-row 🪗 couldn’t play #blues easily so it got left out of most Black American music 🤷🏽

    #Zydeco is the exception with backstory

    🪗 didact: the author of that #bandcamp piece made a couple errors

    One row diatonic #accordion can play in more than one key if the keys don’t require the full chromatic scale

    The player does become limited beyond a few keys, and has to be more and more skilled to hide the “gaps” in keys the instrument wasn’t built to play easily in

    #Louisiana’s French fiddle music lost a lot of tunes that couldn’t be played on one-row accordions

    But not all but one key

  4. 🎶☠️🖤 My take on traditional Cajun 2-step

    "Tiens, bébé il y a un bal ce soir
    O, ouais tout le monde danser
    Moi j’ai tant envie de te voir
    Allons y, le bon temps rouler"

  5. Schriever, #Louisiana near the #Cajun town of #Thibodaux.

    Served three times a week by the sunset limited #NewOrleans - #Houston - San Antonio - Los Angeles.

    Being an optimist, I'd say the route, especially the NOLA-Houston has huge potential for a more regular several times a day service. Hoping for a similar initiative as on the recently reinstated "Mardi Gras" service between New Orleans and Mobile, AL.

  7. Long shot: anyone in Glasgow able to lend me a #Cajun t#riangle for a gig? Something like this studio-aube.com/shop/p/cajuntr – I don't have time to get one on order. Or, anyone know a #blacksmith who might make one for me?

  9. Following on from my recent purchase of a Mini Chopper, I'm re-working some classic rice or potato dishes to use keto-friendly cauliflower instead.

    First up is a Keto Friendly Jambalaya.

  10. The stupendously credulous #MAGA morons in ‘#Cajun Country’, #Louisiana that keep re-electing #MikeJohnson to #Congress are making me think the British had an unofficial reason for the #Acadian expulsion from the Maritime area of what had been New #France during the French and Indian War: “The French Canadians can stay, but those dumbfuckers need to go!” (Joking)🤔 huffpost.com/entry/mike-johnso
