PASSINGS:
Howard
Citizen
Having arrived in Los
Angeles in 2000, I was late to find the creole and cajun
dance community. It was through this and playing with Mr
Joe that I was fortunate to meet Howard Citizen and learn of the deep
history of this community. Mr Citizen
epitomized this circle of people. He had a way with his smile and
graciousness that made you feel welcome, respected, and in community. When
he was dancing on the floor you felt connected to this history. When he
gave you the thumbs up, it felt like a benediction. Watching him
with a partner gracing the floorboards, induces one to reflect on one
of the magical things about a community, dance and music. Dance like a good
conversation is not about leading or following but about exchange and
listening. When dance is magical it happens somewhere in the space between
the partners in synchronous celebration. This also happens in music
and community. I witnessed Howard practicing this art.
I think about these
qualities that were abundant in our friends that we recently lost.
Dance
with them in memory and spirit, carrying their steps forward.
From ZydecoBrad:
Mr. Howard Citizen was a wonderful man that was at the dances with a smile
on his face having fun pleasing all the ladies that he danced with well
into his 90s. He will be greatly missed in the Zydeco dance
community. Mr. Citizen was truly a pillar of the Zydeco / Creole / Cajun
culture in Southern California. I am sure he will be dancing in
Heaven with all the Angels that went before. Here is a video of his
Birthday dance taken in May of 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDKfNzxup0M
RIP Howard Citizen
His smile made you feel at
home and his manner was graceful. He was a true gentleman.
He made a profound contribution to the Creole community in Los Angeles for
over 65 years. Originally from SW Louisiana, born in Pointe Noir in Church
Point, lived in Eunice and worked sharecropping and cane cutting throughout
the region. He came to California and settled in Watts across from the
Watts Towers. The family moved to Compton and attended St. Albert the Great
Church.

PASSINGS
of Howard Citizen
Howard Citizen RIP
Dear Friends,
Just wanted to let
you know my, dearest friend and hero passed Monday night at home. He
quietly slipped away with his usual dignity and grace.
I quote a friend and
I totally agree, "Surely, he will dance his way to heaven".
I am so thankful our
lives crossed and haven't yet accepted that he is gone but I'm working on
it.
I'll be in touch and
thank you all for your loving support,
Sharon

Overview:
An evening of Cajun Dance music, and
Louisiana good times, straight out of the prairies of SW Louisiana.
The High Life Cajun Band celebrates the release of their album Acadiana
Dreamin’. The
sounds and rhythms of a Friday night dance in southwest Louisiana are alive
and kicking when this band begins to play.
Acadiana Dreamin’ download HERE
Sharing the stage is Louisiana
native, Levi Petree & The Radio
Publica.
The High Life plays Pig Roasts,
BBQ’s, club dates, dances, and festivals all over California.
The past three years the band has travelled back to Louisiana for the
annual Blackpot Camp & Festival, where they
soak in more and more of the music (and food and dancing) direct from the
source. If you can’t make it to the prairies of Louisiana,
catch the High Life and they’ll be sure to take you there - at least
for the night!
San Diego Event Cedric Watson Saturday September
14
Join
in the next 2nd Saturday Bon Temps dance with four-time GRAMMY-nominated
musician Cedric Watson. One of the brightest young talents to emerge in
Cajun (Louisiana French) and Creole music over the last decade, Cedric will
share his rich and lively musical talent on fiddle, accordion, banjo, and
vocals
Cedric Watson Born in 1983, Cedric Watson grew up in San Felipe, Texas
surrounded by the blues, old soul, country, and zydeco music. Though
hip-hop was then popular amongst his peers, Cedric developed an affinity
for the old-style French songs of Southwest Louisiana and the greater
Houston area. He soon found himself in Lafayette, Louisiana where he became
part of the musical community and began contributing to the continuity of
Creole music. He has performed across the United States and internationally
in France, Nova Scotia, Haiti, and Spain, in order to present the Creole
Nation of Louisiana to the Creole Nations in other parts of the world, to
make these Creole cultures aware of the one in Louisiana, and vice
versa.
“An aggressive and gifted reanimator of Louisiana Creole
music.” —The New York Times

Hey Everybody, wanted
to say I hope everyone had a great Labor Day, and really enjoyed the weather..Lisa and I are starting out for the Fall
shows, and have had lots, and I mean lots, of emails and calls asking us
not to stop doing Dances at the Eagles Hall, so we'll try out doing a few
more in the coming months..Some out-of-town bands
have called and all and asked for some dates so we'll see..Right
now the dates I have scheduled are on the 8th of September with Cedric
Watson and his band..Cedric is an accomplished
fiddler, accodionist, and vocalist..and
as a founding member of the Grammy Nominated group, the Pine Leaf Boys,
he's been around the world playing what he does best..There
will be a potluck if you want to bring some food, but no drinks please..The Doors will open at 5, with the music at
5:45ish, and if enough people want one, I'll do a dance lesson..I
did one at our Anniversary Party and many people liked it and asked to do
them again..So we hope to see you this Sunday..Cedric hasn't played the Eagles in almost 10
years and MANY people have asked about out-of-town bands so here you go..We hope to see you..
I have a few more
things in motion but the only other confirmed gig I have is on Sunday
October 6, which will be celebrating Billy Wilson's Birthday!! Billy is
going to be even older than he is, lol, but he still keeps going..That will be with his
band of over 30 years, Motordude Zydeco..That will also be at the usual time, with a
potluck as well..
And then in
November, on the 24th, we will have Blake Miller and Jimmy Breaux come back
to do what they did last year, which was kick ass big time.that will also be on a Sunday...
I have had lots of
people ask me why we're going only to Sundays and I have to say they just
work out better for most people..That
is why..
So that is what we
got going so far, and I'll know more in the next couple of days to fill in
some of the other dates I'm working on..
Thanks to all the
for support and the kind words.
I do
thank you for the support that has been extended to Lisa and I for the
24 years of dong this stuff..We'll
see you down the Zydeco Road..

Hello Brad and Guy!
I just came across your
site while doing some research for my website, and it is so great to see
the Cajun culture being promoted out in California! I live in
Sorrento, La and have been Cajun dancing as long as
I can remember. I teach Cajun Dance lessons here locally, and I
recently created an online version of my Introduction to Cajun Dance
class. The class includes the basics of the waltz, two-step, and
shuffle and also has a bit of history thrown
in. I thought I would contact ya’ll
to connect and give you the information for the class in case anyone in
California may be interested! The class is brand new, so any
feedback, reviews or suggestions will be much appreciated!
Information about the course
can be found here: https://likeacajun.com/courses/introduction-to-cajun-dance/.
Thanks
and keep up the awesome work!

As the grandson of the world-renowned Cajun accordion-builder Larry Miller.
helping in his grandfather’s shop from a very early age, he met and
was influenced by some of the greatest names in Louisiana music.
“This is what I grew up with. I thought everyone listened to
Cajun music all the time,” Miller says. Inspired by the constant
contact with famed Cajun and Creole musicians, the steady stream of house
parties and jams at his grandfather’s shop, Miller has been playing
since receiving his first toy accordion at age 5, and also plays fiddle,
guitar, bass, and his latest obsession, steel guitar. He’s gone on to
become a legendary Cajun musician himself.
Having played widely throughout the U.S. and traveling all over the
world in his 32 years, as founding member of Pine Leaf Boys and member of
the Red Stick Ramblers Miller has performed with just about every renowned
Cajun artist in Louisiana, and an extensive list of venues rivaling that of
a musician twice his age.
Asked how he came to the Aces trio configuration, Miller says, “I
wanted to do something more homey, like comfort
food-you know, like a great gumbo. Something that would stick to your ribs.“My favorite places
to play are the old opera houses and the dance halls. The places with low
ceilings, dark, not always good sound. The grittier places.”
What inspires and drives Miller is his passion for
bringing back traditional Cajun music and letting people know that
“Cajun music is alive! It’s happening! It’s the real
thing! Come check it out!”
