It's been an absolute blast here in Cajun Country, the past few days and the weekend is only beginning! Here are a few pics of last night's "Rockin' on the River" concert in River Ranch, featuring Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. The crowd anxiously waited for the band to start.
Dancing, dancing, and more dancing is all this crowd wanted to do!
Steve and the Boyz, rocking the crowd!Then, tonight at the T.G.I.F. block party, at Downtown Alive, there was more music and more dancing to the awesome blues sounds of The Marty Christian Band. They kicked things off for the fabulous Henry Gray and the Cats and were really getting down!
Henry Gray is 84 years young and can still play the daylights out of that keyboard! They were hotter than Tabasco sauce and reminded me of N'awlins.
The crowd was hungry and ready to eat. Joy's Curbside had a line that seemed to go so slow, but it was worth the wait. This is the best for Jambalya and Hot Sausage Poboys.
I will be headed to the swamp this weekend for more Cajun adventures and a barbeque, before going to the weekly dance at Whiskey River on Sunday. Horace Trahan and The Ossun Express will entertain the crowd. Oh the life of a Cajun, is oh so fun!
Hope ya'll have a fun and happy weekend! Lassiez les bon temps rouler!
Have all the fun you can!

Wooooooohoooooo, Marguerite! Glad you're livin' it up enough for the rest of us who are bogged down right now!

Good for you! Have a wonderful time and dance a dance for me!
Sausage po-boys and jambalaya - oh how wonderful! Someday I'm going to meet you at one of these festivals!
You guys have got some energy.
I hope you're dancing the weekend away in celebration of finally buying that wicker table :)
Dave- No actually, dancing increases your energy level, especially when you've been doing it over a lifetime. It is great exercise and so much fun, too.
Angie- Did you mean "blogged down", cher? lol Hope you have a fun weekend! No time for Twitter.
Kat- Merci, cher! I will dance one for you and have a Margarita in your honor. Wish you were here!
Mandy- I would love it, if you did. We've got the big one coming up next weekend. (Festival Acadiens) I wish you could make it!
John- Yes we do! We were born with it and it just stays with us till the end. Have a fun weekend!
Joanne- I am going to look around a little more, for the table, but I'll be celebrating, just the same.:)
I'll be spending my weekend pretty much the same as always -a little cooking, a lot of dishwashing and stitching, stitching, stitching away while you're swinging and swaying to the beat of that Cajun music and enjoying all that great food!
Peace and hope we both continue to enjoy doing these things.
