I like the old songs and never listen to non english speaking tunes. But I do like this one and can't understand one word of it.
.So you understand French?
That makes sense, Meer, but won't work for me. The nature of my hearing loss, maybe the harmonics that are missing, makes the music that is left sound like crap.

Thanks, Meer. And yes "Ve haf our Vays."
Earlier this week I found some papers in a box. Long ago I had made a list of the old cassette tapes I wanted to replace with cd's.
One tape I never replaced. A tape by Jo-El Sonnier. (I can pronounce his name in Cajun, good luck to ya'll). Cajun music isn't for everyone but I love it. I first heard Mr. Sonnier in Houston, later that year I heard him again in Baton Rouge at a small venue, bought a tape.
Anyway I found a couple of you tub vids of him. One is with Doug Kershaw

Sonnier! Yes, he is good and so is Kershaw. My mother could outdance ANYONE on the dance floor, especially when Cajun music was played. If I could have bottled her energy, we would have been rich beyond imagination, lol.
Peanut, you will love this song, Jambalaya, sung by Hunter Hayes when he was a precious FOUR-year-old little squirt.

@Grizzleyette___Adams I went to work offshore in the gulf in 1980. Back then almost almost all the boat crews were cajun. The music always filled the boat... If we went to the intercoastal waterway and docked over night in some small town the local bar was cajun along with the food... Serious indoctrination for an alabama boy. The music and the food stayed with me. 
funny, I once worked with a guy named Robert Robert. His first name was Robert pronounced in English. His last name Robert, was pronounced in French. So, spoken it was two different names, written it was the same name.
We just called him Bob, less confusion that way.
