Hey Mish–thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out!

Yeah, the Cajun-Quebecois connection has always interested me.

Trad Cajun music is like French-Canadian-Appalachian old-time fiddle music.

It's interesting to see how one group spread to different locations influenced music. Another example, the Acadians who moved to the deep south helped create Cajun while those in Quebec influenced Quebecoise music. You might like La Volée d’Castors, who after a friend introduced me to their music I saw at an Acadian music festival. Glad I stumbled upon this through "related posts". It's nice to see another blogger who loves folk. That's a nice tune, thanks for sharing.
