It was a beautiful Spring evening at the kick-off to the Downtown Alive Spring concert series,on Friday night! G.G. Shin, Steve Adams and their smoking hot band, Smoke, with special guest, Charlene Howard were reving it up! "Swamp Pop" kings, and in their own right, this fabulous band was getting down, cher and rockin the crowd! Swamp Pop is a Cajun style of music that was very popular in the 60's and is still very popular, today.
Swamp Pop music takes you back in time to a much simpler time. Especially the slow songs!
I took this video clip, but the audio turned out horrible, (not sure why)! So pleaseTURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN or OFF, if you want to watch it! The crowd was jammin', and doing a fast jitterbug! Let the good times roll, cher!
Wishing all of you a beautiful Spring week! Have a bon ton, cher!

Thanks for the nice compliment! Cheers to you!

Dave- Merci for coming over and telling me. Stranger things have happened, but I'll figure it out, sooner or later. Have a Banana Boat for me!

OMGosh! that pie is the kind that paula deen would say makes ya wanna slap yo' mamma!!! heaven help us all, it looks so divine! love love the old "filling stations" turned into cafes, etc - there used to be one in shreveport years ago but long gone and too bad - fabulous post, as always, louisianasister!!! can't tell you how much i love comin' home over here!
I thought you'd been a bit quiet, the sidebar is not updating. Thanks for the comment on the spoon sizes. I'm not sure our spices are 'certified cajun', but I'll be trying them anyway. Shrimp, crab and fish recipes always appreciated. Can't say I'm a sweet-tooth man, so I tend to pass on cakes. But I can see others love them!
Marguerite! So glad to have found your blog. Amazing recipes and a look into Louisiana. I love chocolate, can't wait to try your pie!
GYPSY- Merci beaucoup for your sweet compliments, cher! This pie is so sinfully delicious that I have to control myself or else I would eat the whole thing! "The Filling Station" as it's called, is one of my favorite restaurants.
John- You're so welcome and I'm so glad that you like the seafood recipes! I will be posting a Cajun seasoning blend recipe, soon, and then you can make your own!
JeMA- Hi and welcome! I'm so happy to meet you and glad that you found my blog, too. Thanks so much for the lovely comment and for adding me as a friend. The pleasure is all mine!
