A Cajun Waltz
We had an absolute blast recently at the 40th anniversary of Festival
Acadiens in Lafayette. It was hot and humid, but no one seemed to mind
and it surely didn't stop this bunch of Cajuns from dancing to the more
than 50 bands that performed throughout the 3 day event. Here's a little
clip that I took of Wayne Toups, jammin' with the Pineleaf Boys, and
playing a Cajun waltz on the Sunday afternoon. Hope you all are having a fun and happy week! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!
