Reminiscences by Cajun musicians and extensive notes provide a musical and cultural setting for the selections. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From the Publisher
A quote from the legendary Cajun musician and songwriter, Dewey Balfa says it all: "It's a well-planted seed when you leave your knowledge to some young people. If we don't do it, this music will die and there is no reason for it to die, because it's so beautiful."

This book has been re-issued because of the beliefs we share with Mr. Balfa. This book will be appreciated and treasured by only the chosen, where the spirit of the music dwells. Enjoy.
