All of my Dad's family was from Louisiana and he and my grandparents had the Cajun accent and I have it too although I was born in Texas. Dad would play Big Band and Cajun records at home and I absolutely love both of those styles of music. D.L. Menard is one of my favorite Cajun musicians, along with the Savoy Family Band and Jo-El Sonnier.
This sounds SO much like my relatives in Cajun country! I don't understand a damn thing they say half the time, and my wife (French Canadian) has a tough time too, but the FEEL of the music speaks for itself. This man is a legend, and I'm happy I found this video! Interesting how much English is in Cajun. Kinda like how much French and other languages are in English. We are a nation of mixed languages and cultures for sure. My family is of German decent, but that is exactly how that squeeze box got into Cajun music. Bayou Aleman in da house!
We just love DL Menard and miss him extremely!! God Bless DL!! Love ya!!!

DL was/is Tha Man! A simplistic masterpiece. Oh to have one of his chairs! I'd put it buy my back door.
The volume is too low
