You did Louisiana proud,...Fabulous post and videos! You did Louisiana proud, cher! I grew up in Abbeville and now live in Lafayette, so I know Zydeco very well. Clifton Chenier was the best and still is, and always will be the "King of Zydeco, in my opinion. We used to see him live, at Jay's Lounge in Cankton, and other venues around Lafayette. Those were the days! So cool that you went to school in New Orleans and got to experience it!Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15846051579802335412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-46427517626159393702010-07-19T02:56:06.581-07:002010-07-19T02:56:06.581-07:00I can understand why you wanted to go to nursing s...I can understand why you wanted to go to nursing school in New Orleans. <br />Thank you for sharing this unusual local culture and its very happy, snappy music. <br /><br />I joined this meme because of you!<br /><br />I have put your book on my Amazon wish-list until I can find a new job.

I have never lost my love for it.<br /><br /><br />Sharkbytes -<br />Other than country music and some folk music, zydeco is the only time I hear the accordian played.<br /><br /><br />Nora Johnson -<br />I am so glad my zydeco post brought back New Orleans memories for you. Hearing the music always catapults me back to my student nurse days back in "the big easy" - that was such a great, carefree time. It's hard to believe it was almost 45 years ago now.<br /><br /><br />Lena -<br />Fiddle playing is such an essential part of zydeco, along with the accordion. It definitely gets your toes tapping.<br /><br /><br />signed...bkm -<br />Glad I could introduce you to zydeco. It's really fun music. I would lose plenty of weight if I would listen to it more. You can't sit still when it's playing.<br /><br /><br />Theresa -<br />So glad you enjoyed my zydeco post!!!<br /><br /><br />lakeviewer -<br />New Orleans has been part of my life since I was<br />a teenager. Most of my nursing school classmates ended up marrying doctors and stayed in the area so I always have plenty of folks to visit when I'm there. In October, we have our 45 year nursing school reunion.<br /><br /><br />Viki -<br />New Orleans was a terrific place to live as a student and as a young nurse. So many of my friends are still there so I love to visit.<br /><br /><br />Short and Sweet -<br />Glad I could give you a little of the history of zydeco!!<br /><br /><br />ChristiS -<br />Unless you've been around southwest Louisiana,<br />you might not know about zydeco!<br /><br /><br />Pondside -<br />We owe a lot to those Acadians!!! <br /><br /><br />Jo -<br />Glad you like my post. That zydeco music make you want to get up and dance, that's for sure.<br /><br /><br />Betty (picture circa 1951) -<br />I am so glad I got to spend a few years living<br />in New Orleans...great food, great fun and I <br />learned to love zydeco, crawfish, and red beans and rice.<br /><br /><br />CherylD -<br />Lucky you to have seen so many of the greats in <br />Cajun and Zydeco music!! I know there used to be a couple of festivals every year in southern CA ( Long Beach, I think, for one ), also in SF <br />but I don't know if they are still taking place here. <br /><br /><br />The Muse -<br />So glad you like my zydeco offering!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-61174447024931826492010-07-17T23:56:06.073-07:002010-07-17T23:56:06.073-07:00jfb57 -

Zydeco is wonderful music!<br /><br /><br />steveroni -<br />That RNSANE stands for RN ( registered nurse ), sexual assault nurse examiner ( SANE ). The police always said it should have been INSANE. Before I had a handicapped license plate, my license plate was also RNSANE. People were always asking me about that. <br /><br />You're right, my nursing school days and those first years as a young nurse in New Orleans <br />were fabulous. <br /><br />I can just imagine you guys going into a Cajun<br />bar! Not pretty. Drunk Cajuns, even less so!<br /><br /><br />My name is P.J. -<br />Glad you enjoy my "Z" alphabe. I am sad to see<br />it all come to an end.<br /><br /><br />JDaniel4's Mom -<br />It's been a long since I've been to a zydeco dance. Seems like they aren't being held so often around here any more.<br /><br /><br />Cheryl -<br />Zydeco is definitely music that gets you up on your feet and moving!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-37531260407717219632010-07-17T17:02:25.775-07:002010-07-17T17:02:25.775-07:00Well, happy Z day :) Oh yes, ever so loving the ja...Well, happy Z day :) Oh yes, ever so loving the jazz feel...and the mix of cultures ...plus architecturally, I am always blown away by my visits there. <br />It has been 26 weeks of fun and i am sure glad you chose this great z word!<br /><br />hope you can visit my z when you have time :)<br />http://adivashammer.com/?p=1662The Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698847569200418376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-44200212413895010192010-07-16T20:58:05.494-07:002010-07-16T20:58:05.494-07:00I LOVE Zydeco (and Cajun) music!

I live in the other LA (Los Angeles) and fell in love with the music after seeing the movie, "The Big Easy." At the time, L.A. had a large Cajun population and there were many great venues for dancing to live bands--many famous on the national front. I've seen every performer you listed in your post (along with a multitude of others). Sadly, many of my favorite performers died at a pretty young age to heart attacks.<br /><br />Thank you for the awesome Z post!Cheryl D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09325231488203008376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-21658279987390318192010-07-16T13:20:48.178-07:002010-07-16T13:20:48.178-07:00Thank you for the informative post on Zydeco music...Thank you for the informative post on Zydeco music.
