Oh my. I just saw this. What a wonderful "outpouring" and an introduction. The links are excellent!

I must put in a plug for some particular music from La Belle Province. Ouch! (That's a Canuck thing, pay no nevermind) As I am in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada, I know many Acadian musios worthy, but, I don't think of them as "French". I think of Canuck "French" as from Quebec... like Harmonium... one of the most talented and amazing group or artists I have ever heard.

I searched for a couple of particular tunes of theirs which enthralled me some 25 years ago, but I could not locate them. I did find one, which, although not necessarily typical, may give some slight insight to the talent within Harmonium.

There first album, "Harmonium", is a treasure... trust me.
