Lacassine Special by Harry Trahan

Harry Trahan is the father of Lisa Trahan-Reed. He has played accordion since a young man. These videos were taken in 2005 at the Augusta Festival, after Harry had suffered a stroke sometime before. Lisa said he had to relearn some things on the box. Shows what determination can do.

yall are welcome. I was so slow on learning all this stuff from the videos, I figured someone else should be benefiting from them in the meantime. The little time I spent with Mr. Harry was enjoyable. A likable fella.

He's from the Lafayette, LA area. His daughter is Lisa Trahan, used to be married to Mitch Reed, the fiddler.

Trahan family reunion was at his house this year. It was a fabulous contest of pork jambalaya.  Aunt Elsie was in good spirits and Uncle Boy made fun of my redskin girlfriend.
