Zydeco! Enjoy the show!

ByCapt. Wendy

So, in the last post I mentioned a couple called Cindy and Del.

It’s just about as hard to describe zydeco dance moves in words as it is to describe the sounds of the music.

Even though she apologizes for the quality this little Flip camera affords, I still very much appreciate Diane Huhn putting this little clip together for us.

There’s just nothing like hearing and seeing for yourself now, is there?

Enjoy!

One of these days, I will have me some fancy dancing boots and be able to scoot those boots just like they do!

While we were eating crawfish, and…

    As a wetland advocate and tour guide, I have the privilege of educating people from across the nation and across the oceans about the beauty and bounty, degradation and disappearance of the wetlands here. They learn about the necessity of healthy marshes to protect humans, wildlife, and infrastructure from storm surges. They hear for the first time that roughly, every 2.7 miles of healthy marsh reduces a storm surge by one foot.

  1. Very nice! The band sounds really good. I would like to have seen some of the faster beat dancing! Is the band from NY or from down here?

    1. The band is from Buffalo, NY and are called Mumbo Gumbo. Really nice guys. I chatted with them while they ate their dinner and made sure they tried the king cake.

  2. I LIKED IT! I don’t think i’ve heard anything but the faster tempo songs before. You can tell Cindy and Del have been dance partners for awhile and that they enjoy it.

    1. Yes, if it were a true Zydeco band. This was not a zydeco band, though. This was the backup band. The premier band was LeRon Zydeco, and he played an accordion!!!!
