Kate and Anna McGarrigle: Complainte pour Ste. Catherine (1984)

Kate and Anna McGarrigle perform "Complainte pour Ste. Catherine" in a June 1984 TV concert recorded at the Red Creek Inn in Rochester NY.

Before the song Kate introduces the members of the band: Pat Donaldson (bass), Gordy Adamson (drums), Andrew Cowan (guitar), Gilles Losier (violin), Dane Lanken (bass voice), Chaim Tannenbaum (voice, harmonica on this piece but other instruments on other songs), and Jane McGarrigle.

Source video (mediocre) is VHS SP recorded from a TV broadcast; audio is synced from a separately-recorded FM stereo simulcast.

"Moi j'mange de la tire Sainte-Catheriiiiiiiiiine !"

Belle imitation du Bye Bye 84 pour une belle chanson !

@Scum71succer Your sensibilities are correct. Don't forget that Cajun is a corruption of Arcadian (from Nova Scotia) and these French-speakers migrated, under duress, to Louisiana.

crisse c'est insupportable

R.I.P. UNE DES DEUX

it may be just me, but it just has a whole cajun feeling to me (besides all the childhood mems this song carries to me)
