Fun on the Bayou
Here's a little clip of the Grammy winning Beausoleil band, playing at Medicine Show 14 in downtown Lafayette on Saturday night. This fabulous show, that also featured the one and only, Zachary Richard, Grammy nominated, Feufollet, and famed, slide-guitarist, Sonny Landreth was held in it's new venue, the new Acacdiana Center for the Arts. The annual fundraiser, has raised over a million dollars in funds for the Tommy Comeaux Endowment for the Arts Fund, at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. It is also a tribute to the late Dr. Tommy Comeaux. It was a blast! Sorry it's so short, but the camera's batteries died! C'est la vie!
Beausoleil
Wishing all of you a Joyeaux Noel filled with many special memories to treasure!
Merci beaucoup for stopping by! Let the good times roll, cher!

Marguerite, I think the catering business is where you would become a zillionaire in a matter of months. No. Make that weeks. Or even days. Maybe minutes.
I think Trish and Rob are correct. Merry Christmas, those drinks sound wonderful, I just read in the paper about a chocolate martini and it sounded delicious.
I don't think there is any danger of people going away hungry or thirsty from your house! Have a real good Christmas and New Year.
Merry Christmas Marguerite! Enjoy, with all best wishes for a wonderful 2011, filled with peace, happiness, and okay, with great music and food, too :)
Can't stop thinking about the ultimate eggnog. I'd say "ultimate" is an understatement. I mean, you'd never get people off the couch after that. Wow.
Merry Christmas Marguerite!
You'll have to put us up on cots after this party! Ciao!
Happy Holidays!
Dear Marguerite ,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
With my best wishes to all family.
Sincerely Yours, Zhivago
Crumbs!! I just popped in for a glass of wine yesterday and Santa was there briefly as your header and he vanished along with the wine - greedy thing. Now he's returned for more LOL.
I'll settle for an Eggnog which looks truly scrumptious, or better still sinfully delicious, as you rightly say. Your other treats looks equally enticing. I think if I lived in Cajun land I would be at least 250lbs LOL. No wonder you all have to dance it off!!
And Marguerite you must be the nicest hostess on the planet.
Enjoyed the video clip too.
Have a very enjoyable Christmas and a Happy New Year. Love and hugs, Eddie
Cloudia- My pleasure, cher! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Trish- Thanks for the lovely compliment, cher, but catering is too much work! lol Happy Holidays!
Linda- Thanks, they are all fab! You could substitute chocolate liqueur for the coffee liqueur and voila, a chocolate martini! Cheers, cher!
John- I think you're right about that! Enough food and drinks to feed a small army! Happy Holidays!
Cal. Girl- For a Cajun, a few of these eggnogs will just be a primer! And after we eat, we're all going to a Christmas dance, and then to midnight mass! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Rosaria- See my comment above, to Cal. Girl! lol And then after midnight mass, we'll all go out to breakfast! Joyeaux Noel!
Love that black santa drink, yum. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a terrific Christmas Eve party! I know it will be wonderful.
