Hi
Video is from March of 1976. The whole video I have is MOSTLY the interview with Mr. Revon Reed. I am posting the musical acts but other than this one the clips are very short. Thanks.

The other song, at the beginning of the clip, is the tail-end of "Let's Go to Lafayette", which i can't spell in French, but thats what it means in English.

I know I posted this video, but it still AWES me EVERYTIME I watch it.... it Mesmorizes me. He was SUCH an underrated musical artist. I wish I could have seen him in person or grasped the importance of his contribution to the cajun culture sooner than I did.
Thank you very much ... ( 6 months ago by pomea)
Thank you very much. If this is from 197506, it is just the kind of KEUN Mamou Cajun Hour I used to hear on the radio when I first started listening in earnest to this kind of music. Yes, Nathan Abshire at Fred's Lounge with Sady Courville and Preston Manuel! Thanks so much for posting this!!! I love the ending with Nathan clowning around on the accordion. The audience is mesmerized and the cheers at the end tell the story. A treasure for sure!

I want to thank you on behalf of Nathans family. I was able to relay these videos to them. You are a true blessing to them. God Bless you & thank you.

What a treasure and a treat. The guitar player looks to be Preston Manuel, and if I had to guess, the fiddle player is Sady Courville, though I cannot be sure. Whoever had the foresight to film this in 1976, thank you. Almost like being there! No doubt Nathan and company would be surprised to look some 32 years in the future and see this video playing for all the world to see. Magnifique et bien bonne!

Indeed,after posting my comment that Bee or Ed was in the video,I discovered you had a video of them also. You are the man ! By virtue of the fact that you've chosen to post these specific videos,it tell me a lot about yourself. You are one PEDIGREED Cajun that loves REAL CAJUN MUSIC ! lol

There is still ... ( 2 months ago by nsixx5)
There is still today, something very special about the old cajun music. Drive Highway 13 through Eunice and Mamou and is still thrives. I am a Proud 30 year COONASS from Evageline Parish. At Mardi Gras every year you will see beautiful 20 year women along side 68 year old women dancing in the streets to Nathan Abshire, Ire Lejune, and DL Menard. It is in your blood. Cold beer and Boudan. Forever Louisiana.
Someone asked what ... ( 2 months ago by tcmichot)
Someone asked what Nathan was saying at the end. He was explaining the meaning of "ma negresse" as a term of endearment for one's woman, wife, or sweetheart. This was also touched upon at the beginning of the clip by Revon Reed.
