Here in Missouri we have an old French colonial music tradition (which isn't cajun) and down in the hollers of the lower Missouri Ozarks one can find (or could as late as the 1970's) varients of songs and tunes that seem Appalachian in origin but aren't. Seek out the three record (vinyl) album "I'm Old but I'm Awfully Tough" just chock full of both Ozark and old French music. Like "Bear Creek Sally Goodin" If someone would like I can put that album on tape for them because I think it is out of print. It was produced here in New Haven back in the late 70's.
