 Transitioning
Back to the Bay Area- Summer
2003(July 12,2003) I’ve been back in the
SF Bay Area for little over a month now, after spending the winter in
Lafayette, LA and while, it’s true, I can’t go out EVERY night of the week
to listen and dance to Cajun or zydeco music here, there have been so many
great bands traveling through over the last few weekends, that I haven’t
had that much opportunity to be too homesick, at least musically speaking,
for my life in Louisiana. ......

A Typical Week in Southwest Louisiana.
I have a new toy -
a Canon Digital Camera
-that takes movies with sound. This
past week (March 20-26, 2003), I took pictures at most of the music shows
I attended here (Cajun, zydeco and other Louisiana musicians - including:
Zydeco Joe, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, Sonny Landreth,
Roy Carrier, D'Jalma Garnier & Goldman Thibodeaux, the
Nouveaux String Band, Sam Broussard, and more) and put them together
in my first movie - it runs about 6 minutes. I have uploaded the
file as a 'streaming video'. When you click on it, it should open
Windows Media Player automatically, and then start playing after it does a
little buffering. You won't be downloading the file. It works
fine on the 2 different machines I tested it on, but I would like to get
feedback
if you have problems with seeing the film or if it affects the usability
of my website. THANKS and enjoy.
