From
Dick Brainaird – Portland Waterfront Blues Festival
If you are coming to the WBF & need a hotel
room, I am negotiating a discount rate at University Place Hotel about a 10-12 minute walk from the fest. The rate will include a
cooked to order breakfast from the hotel restaurant menu. I will receive 20
rooms at the discount rate, so let me know asap if you want one of the
rooms. Don’t yet know the discount rate but likely to be around
$100/night.
The hotel is very nice & is in a very safe area next to
Portland State Univ.—actually owned by the
Univ. The walkway to the festival is through an area of new business,
university & apartment buildings.
The best way to reach the hotel from the airport will be to use
the “Downtown Hotel Shuttle” which stops at the hotel.
Otherwise you can use the MAX light rail line from the airport to downtown,
then transfer to the southbound “Yellow/Orange” line on
SW 5th Av. up to the hotel on SW Lincoln. Parking is expensive at the hotel
& area parking garages.
The WBF is all day July 4-5-6-7 (Thu-Sun) from noon till 10 PM,
with additional late night music in the adjacent
Marriott Hotel ballrooms. Cajun & zydeco music will be on the Front
Porch Stage from noon till 10 PM both Sat & Sun. with a large dance
floor in front of the stage. There will be lessons between band sets. Thu
& Fri there will be swing dancing on the dance floor to swing-blues
bands.
Cascade Zydeco is working on adding an off-site dance with one
of the zydeco bands so stay tuned for info.
Bands will include;
Chubby Carrier & His Zydeco Swamp Band
Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble
Wayne Singleton & Same Ol’ 2-Step
Lil’ Pookie
Zydeco Band
TooLoose Cajun
Band
Each will play 3 times over Sat & Sun.
Go to www.waterfrontbluesfest.com for lots of
information on all the other stuff.
Be sure to email me soon if you want one of the discount rooms. The hotel
is already 40% booked for the WBF weekend.
OMG!—Gator-by-the-Bay--what a wonderful event this past
weekend. Everyone had a fabulous time. The music was incredible. The
dancing awesome. Peter Oliver and his crew did an
incredible job making GBTB the best Cajun & Zydeco festival in the
country (plus lots of swing, blues, country, Latin, etc.)—for more
years than I can recall. And the food was very good--when we had the time
to stop dancing. This is the ultimate festival which everyone has to experience. So…..mark
it on your calendar for next Mother’s Day weekend.
Next on the agenda many of us will be going
to Strawberry Park Cajun-Zydeco Fest near Preston City, CT over the weekend
of Thursday-Sunday, June 6-9, featuring Kevin Naquin, The Revelers, Pine
Leaf Boys, Gen Delafose, Steve Riley, Dennis Stroughmat,
Yvette Landry, Jesse Lege, K Jones & the
Benzie Playboys—a knockout lineup! I believe you can find it at www.strawberryparkcajunzydecofestival.com
Then it will be the Waterfront Blues
Festival in Portland, OR July 4-5-6-7. This
is the largest music festival west of the Mississippi River. Go to www.waterfrontbluesfest.com for all
the details of four fabulous days of world-class blues, including two full
days (Saturday & Sunday) of Cajun & zydeco music with dancing on a
huge dance floor—all right along the Willamette River in front of
Downtown Portland. Plus Curley Taylor will play a
zydeco cruise on the river the evening of July 5. The lineup includes
Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band, Curley Taylor & Zydeco
Trouble, Wayne Singleton & Same Ol’
2-Step, Lil’ Pookie & the Zydeco
Sensations, Feufollet & our local TooLoose
Cajun-Zydeco band.
All this to be followed later this year by
*Rhythm & Roots Festival over Labor Day
weekend at Ninigret State Park, RI
*Festivals Acadiens
October 10-13 in Lafayette, LA (special hotel rates at Fairfield Inn)
*Week between Christmas & New
Year’s in Lafayette, LA with Cajun & zydeco music every day &
night! (again special hotel rates at Fairfield
Inn)
*Then Mardi Gras 2020 will be upon us--so
much fun—but somebody has to do it!

Hello everyone..Hope all those on the list here who went to
SD had a good time..Looking at some of the photos
it sure liked it always is..This coming Sunday,
at the Hall, the band that started it all at the Hall, Motordude Zydeco, will be coming in..Back
in 1993, they found the Eagles long with Walter Budka,
our bartender..Flash forward to today, they are
still doing it and still put on a good show, even at their age..lol..I'm just goofing here, but it is true.They play a good variety of music that people love
to dance and they should...this will be the 26th year of them at the Hall,
but for some reason I am flashing back to when MDZ played at the old Larry
Blakes' on Telegraph.Don't know If you ever went
there, but man, Claustophobic, sawdust on the
dance floor, you had to go downstairs to hear the band, but man, it was great..the good ol' days of
the 80's..ahhhhh..They were good then, but I think even better now..so we hope to see you at the usual time around
5:45ish with a potluck too if you want to bring some food..Thanks
and spread the word..
Then Andre Thierry
will be playing next Sunday, the 26, for a very special Memorial Day
Weekend show on Sunday the 26th..that will be in celebration of the annual
John Delafose Memorial Day Dance we used to do a few years back..It was named that as one Memorial Day at Andre's
old Church his grandma ran, St. Marks, had John Delafose play, and I do
believe there were a good 500 people at that dance. in a place that held
about 250!! it was a great day, so for many years Sue and I had the John
Delafose Memorial Day Dance, and for one more year, will be happening..
Then we will take a
weekend off due to my medical problems still with my bad leg, and return
for June with a bit more unusual players, and then in July we will have at
least two probably 3 dances..
And for those who
are into Basketball, the Warriors and Blazers go at it starting tonight..Should be a good
series..
We hope to see you
at one or more of the dances..
Thanks to all..and for the support.
we hope to see you
somewhere along 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!”
We
really enjoyed dancing to Andre Thierry Sunday October 14th.
