Cookie & the Cupcakes

[shrimpcity]

I was privileged and lucky to see and meet Cookie at the band at the 1995 Blues Estafette in Urtrecht, Netherlands. Nice guys and serious musicians. Miss you so much.

I remember. He was a lot younger, though. (So was I)

When I hear this stuff my soul vibrates like a tuning fork.

Is that the "original" Cookie singing lead?? Heard he was killed in a car wreck some time ago.

Cookie died a few years ago, so this is historically important video . . . especially since he disapeared from around 1965 to around 1993. As a result, there is little if any video/film of him performing.

[Slimcyder]

Yes - I was so lucky to catch this one - it was either the first or second gig after Cookie re-appeared. It was much more low key than I expected - they opened up for Charles Mann. There were no stage lights, and I only managed to get some reasonable film because Ernest Jacobs, their piano player, had a friend filming it as well, using a spotlight on his camera. I had to follow his light, so Ernest's film will be very similar to mine.

You might send a copy on DVD to Dr. Carl Brasseaux at UL-Lafayette; I know he'd love to have it for the university's local music archives:

OK - which one of these guys is a Landry? My kids are related to him! I'm guessing one of the sax players...
