    I grew up in the 60’s listening to this man’s music and loved it. He needs to be honored for his accomplishments and his contributions to Zydeco music and it’s heritage.

    This man is a national treasure . He should be so honored while still alive & allowed to bask , once again , in the national spotlight . He has the gift of 100% pure God given talent , and the grit & balls to drive that fact home . To see this ( now ) old man perform on stage is a thing of wonder . What he can do with a fiddle or a squeezebox / guitar / anything with strings is amazing .I agree with Jerry ... GO SEE HIM , WHILE YOU STILL CAN . May God Bless Mr. Kershaw in his golden years .

      Unfortunately if you play the fiddle it doesn't go over well anymore.

      ...it's very hard to play the violin...AKA, the fiddle.

    This Mamou Two-Step was played in the Heaven's Gate rink in the Kris Kristofferson movie, Heaven's Gate. It is a wonderful fun scene of people roller skating to it, and then Kris and the lady dancing to it. Look it up!

    40 years ago I won tickets to see him play with Micky Gilly and Willy Nelson at a place called After Dark in Lockport New York. Wow what a concert up close in a bar when they all where in there prime. All these years later I can recall it like it was yesterday.

    Doug Kershaw, Buckwheat , Rufus Jaganeaux, Clifton Chenier, no it doesn't get any better than that and Prayers that the Music Style, Cajun, Zydego and Bayou Boogie never die but keep getting resurrected for the next generation, I have Cajuns all around, young and old and have a great grandbaby who I am going to teach also.

    I grew up in Lake Charles and had several occasions to watch Doug. There were a few concerts when he had the right crowd he would play whatever he wanted. I saw some almost Jimi Hendrix style solos on the violin. An amazing, versatile musician.

    Cajun/zydeco and Acadian/Quebec music are so similar, even though the 2 groups split so long ago. There's a Quebec group called Le Bottine Souriante who play music like this.

    • @marvinpearce3201
      @marvinpearce3201 8 лет назад +6

      Yup....throw in the Cajun roots from Acadia in the Canadian maritimes....and thus, the ENORMOUS musical contribution of the French to the Americas!

    Okay, I stand corrected. I just found a RUclips of him playing accordion. The title is "Cajun Stripper," in which he plays a respectable version of Bosco Stomp.

    Tell you this,if nobody gets cajun or zydeco music well I'm afraid to say that they have died!.😂 because your feet can't help themselves! and I'm from the UK,Scotland where the fiddle and the violin are the main instruments after the bagpipes (but the less said about them the better)😂 But this music is rip roaring stuff and thank you for sharing your music with the rest of the wold!.😊

    I thought he'd be playing fiddle. Unless of course it's a multi-recording. But I'd still be surprised because I never knew him to play the box. The only pics I've seen of him is with a fiddle, never an accordion

    • @ceciliacormier2370
      @ceciliacormier2370 8 лет назад +2

      Well, he can play 28 instruments, 29 if you count the « jazzoo ». I'm an Acadian from from the old country, Acadia (Canada).. HIs music drives a lightening bolt through my soul. Saw him first on Ed Sullivan when I was a kid. I was amazed I could be distantly related to such a phenom.
