Kristi Guillory performing her original Cajun song Blues A Catin for MusicBox Project. Krisit is an accomplished accordian and guitar player as well as knocking out some powerful vocals, writing great tunes and she shares our love of folklore. She's a member of the Cajun band Bonsoir Catin, one of the women musicians being featured in MusicBox Project's upcoming film documentary "AMERICANA WOMEN" Roots Musicians - Women's Tales and Tunes.
I'm Acadian from New Brunswick Canada.Acadians are the Cajun's cousins. We still speak french as our first language and our grand parents still used the old old french.We still use the word Catin as what it was back then.A beautiful girl and not a prostitute......It is also a Doll..The same way as you'd use doll in English....She's a doll...C'est une Catin also more modern would be Poupée .----.belle musique!!!!!Keep it up!!!

Nice! And thanks for the informative intro. I learned a lot. Ever consider doing an hour or so of discussing the music and putting it on YouTube?
