And RIP Chris Stafford, Lafayette area Cajun musician and founding member of Feufollet, who has died young as the result of an automobile accident. I am spacing out on the name of an older Cajun musician who recently died as well.

Louis Michot is always up to cool stuff . This is about a gig 4 nights ago in New Orleans
