Thread Name: What is Zydeco?
Subject: RE: What is Zydeco?
Thanks, catspaw!

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to know Murray in Oz. But his memory lives on through his posts...

"Zydeco is everything I least like about cajun with added screaming distorted amplification to make damn sure that any trace of tune that might have survived the metronomic chug of the arrangements gets thoroughly obliterated".
-GUEST,Jack Campin

Jack, you will be happy to know that Zydeco is not Cajun music.

And with regard to your dislike of Zydeco music, there's an old African American saying-perhaps you have seen it in print if not heard it spoken-"Different strokes for different folks".
As a result of posting on Mudcat, I learned an equivalent saying YMMV "Your mileage may vary".

Best wishes,

Azizi
