Cajun jam at Savoy Music Center in Eunice 1
2015 January 10 - Milton Vanicor at Savoy's Music Center-Eunice, LA
Every Saturday morning, musicians from all around come to 'jam' at Marc Savoy's Music Center in Eunice, Louisiana.
You just show up with your instrument and start playing. Everyone is welcome....
On any given day, a tour bus will drive up with people from all around the USA and sometimes even people from other countries. They come to enjoy the French music and the warm Cajun hospitality.
Robert filmed Mr. Milton Vanicor playing La Grosse Erreur (The Big Mistake). It's a French song about a man who's wife left him. He thought he didn't need her anymore but he made a 'big mistake'.....
Mr. Milton is from the 'Greatest Generation'....WWII Veteran, USN. He served on the USS Newberry in the Pacific during 1944-45.
He will be 97 years 'young' this summer in June.
God Bless him and all of our Veterans, our Heroes!

2014 Cutting Rice in south Louisiana
My husband, Robert LeBlanc, loves driving to Eunice every Saturday morning to 'jam' with the musicians at Marc Savoy's Music Center.
On August 10th, on the way back to our place in Roberts Cove, he stopped to take pictures and videos of some farmers cutting rice.
He enjoyed watching them and commented what a pretty sight it was......

UPSOUND (English) Elista Istre, Park Ranger at the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve What did we learn about food?
Student - They made the file gumbo and the file is made from leaves.
Elista Istre - That's right. They make file gumbo and file is made from leaves. From sassafrass. Awesome Jean Paul. You're right, we did do that.
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Elista Istre, Park Ranger at the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve:
The Acadians left, they were a group of peasants and they left France in 1604, and they arrived in Nova Scotia, a region in Canada. After about 150 years of living there, they were sent into exile by the British, and for the next ten years, they were wandering from basically one continent to another looking for a homeland. The Spanish, who were actually in control of the Louisiana colony at the time, invited them to come and settle in the area. So the first Acadian exiles started arriving around 1765, ten years after the exile took place, and they made Louisiana their home.

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Elista Istre, Park Ranger at the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve:
So a fiddler had a lot of competition for noise. After a while whenever the Germans came in, the Germans introduced the accordion to the musical repertoire and the accordion became very popular because it's a louder instrument so people didn't have to struggle to hear the beat of the music quite as hard. And so before amplification the fiddle tunes nearly died out. After amplification came into the music scene, now when you see a typical Cajun band they almost always have not only a fiddle but also an accordion in the music.

21. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Savoy, owner of Savoy's Music centre:
I think that by building accordions, the more people that have accordions, the more the music is going to get popular, and the more people are going to come down to Louisiana to check it out.
