Thread Name: Cajun Music
Subject: RE: Cajun Music
I remember driving through 'Cajun country' years ago, slightly lost and it was getting dark. We stopped to ask our way and saw a sign outside of a bar, 'Crab 50 cents'. Whole families were there and we ended up sharing a table. The 50 cents bought a beer tray loaded with crabs. And refills. Cold beer was cheap. Music played by a Cajun three-some, no idea of their name and no remembrance of the name of the place, which was just the bar and small grocery-filling station, as I remember it.
Our first real exposure to Cajun music and a never-to-be-forgotten evening! I also remember the sore fingers from dealing with the crabs.

Thanks for the Lycos site. Some of those lyrics are hard to find.
