After leaving Galveston, Stan and I meandered over toAbbeville, La. It's a really sweet little town, right in the middle of Cajun Country. What's up with that? Well, that would be where they grow rice, crawdads, and lots of good music. Oh and bayous, which means water, water everywhere. Naturally, we wanted to hear music so we found out about a little cafe down the road a bit that was having an all afternoon jam session for who ever wanted to come listen. Stan and I walked in the door to a bar that was packed with people listening to music, socializing, dancing and generally having a real good time.... The owner came up to us, and welcomed us in.He found us a couple of bar stools right up by the band and on the edge of the dance floor. We got something to drink for five bucks and got to listen to some great music. After about 2 hours a couple of the people that worked there came around with a meal for everyone, on the house! A really nice guy got his feet stomped on trying to teach me the Cajun Two Step. I can't say I got it down but it sure was fun making a fool of myself. The band had 11 members playing at a time and they were fantastic. I highly recommend this for a Saturday afternoon.
