Is the steel guitar legit in Cajun music? Doesn't bother me, but it seems close to crossing over to country. Maybe someone who knows more about Cajun music than I do can tell me how often a steel is used.
RIP Aldus Roger....one of the true all-time greats, and the music of my childhood...mom is 83 now, and in a wheelchair, but this great music can still make her tap her feet....and make us all happy.
this is footage from the Happy Fats show back in the 70's. filmed at channel 15 in lafayette, louisiana. i personally have backed up aldus several times in a band. fine fellow.
@kb5urq I don't know the whole history other than Lawrence Walker came up with it. But I don't know if it is totally original to him or he got the tune from somewhere else
cool! someone who remembers the Rodair! I used to frequent it at the tail end of its existence... circa 1997ish... and ya I know of Andrew Cormier and omg I am so homesick right now... born in Port Acres and grew up in Groves but used to hang out all summer with my cousins over on 58th St... my Gma used to live on 61st right off of Jade
I remember going to the (grand ole )Rodair Club and watching Mr Aldus and his band play...I am wondering if anyone remembers that place and also is there anyone that might have some old Andrew Cormier music...i miss going out there on Saturday nights
This is great. Those old boys show how put everything in the music and you don't have to wiggle all over the place in performance. The accordian alone could make it impossible for dancers to keep still, but I love that steel guitar. I just found an old used LP of Aldus in great shape, so I very happy to actually see the man in performance. Merci!!!
this is awesome- it's difficult to find good footage of Aldus and the boys- thanks to Drew for sending me this-- so that's Howard Noel Jrs dad on guitar! Bad ass old guys!
There was a local tv show filmed in Lafayette, Lousiana I think---it seems to be footage from that show probably in '60's or 70's. Alex Broussard is the man introducing the band. Aldus Roger is not alive.

Anyone know when this footage was shot? Looks like the 70's. Man they're really great. Is Aldus Roger still alive?
wulfdogcat 2 years ago
Not sure what year it's from, but probably late 70's early 80's. Aldus died quite a while back.
blafleur886 2 years ago
Unfortunately Aldus left us about 10 years ago...
