This CD is dedicated to the memory of the late Revon J. Reed, first ambassador of Cajun Music, D.J., schoolteacher, and originator of the now world famous broadcasts from Fred's Lounge in Mamou, Louisiana, and the late Paul Tate and to all the great folk musicians from that era who have gone to the great dance up yonder! Recorded by Chris Strachwitz in 1966, the CD contains almost a full session by accordionist Nathan Abshire, with the Balfa brothers, the last recordings by the incredible Breaux brothers, the unusual harmonica work by Isom Fontenot & more!
