Cajun Music : Eddie LeJeune DL Menard & Ken Smith

Duralde Waltz: Cajun clip from the Shetland Sessions. Not the whole tune, as found on the CD though.(Retitled to give Ken Smith recognition, as I had previously neglected to do this.)

now i understand your viewpoint you are a liberal and not even american! ulstman 59 stick to uploading you cant comment on my viewpoint u do things in the scotch way have a nice day

@thereit2 A man can be theologically conservative and politically liberal. A man can alternatively be politically conservative, yet theologically liberal. You don't have to be American to have a view on what Americans think about things and it wouldn't do any good for me to even BE American because you'd then be categorising me into some other niche group that you didn't like. It wasn't liberal Amercians who marginalised the Cajuns or indeed the Islenos communities of Louisiana. Think about it

it is quite the honor to be called cajun, thank you. It reflects more of the spirit than I can expain. In no way is it derrogatory to me or my house and I am 84 years old and have seen more injustice and bigotry than you can imagine. Cajun? Hell yes!

Fantastic piece of music that I never tire pf listening to. Got into the 'Cajun thing' a few years ago and have fell in love with them, their history and their lifestyle.

@rmachayes having the right Cajun people that are looking for an excuse to have a party while you are listening to this and dont forget to lite the bar b que pit no. Then you let the good times roll Charles thibodeaux

I have recently started a study on cajun music, so I spend a lot of time on youtube....just listening. As I hear a song I wonder just how much better can it get. Such is this song, how much better can it possibly get?

I saw/met Ken when he was a kid at a Texas fiddler's festival in the mid 70s. He was fabulous then; it's great to see that he's continued and thrived as a musician. Gotta dust off the turntable soon and listen to his LP that I'd bought then. So pure and smooth, his playing is.

@joespat75 DL is definitely still alive and still playing his guitar and singing every chance he gets!
