Another movie you should rent, "Schultze Gets The Blues". It reveals the other Louisiana that isn't New Orleans. I grew up with zydeco. Point of information, apparently zydeco derives from a french phrase that translates to "the beans aren't salty". That goes back to the typical Southern habit of seasoning beans by chunking in a smoked ham hock or some equivalent. If things are so bad that you can't afford to do that, then your beans aren't salty. Thing of zydeco as a country music equivalent. Except with accordions. As near as I can figure out, the gate raiser is quoting "Mein Kampf".

LA has to be one of the weirdest places in the Union.....weird in a good way. It has such a weird mixing of cultures.........cajon, creole, anglo, french, and black......I think that covers the gambit. I am not sure how much it gives to the nation but I know we should make every effort not to lose it.
