Special event
announcement:
Hello all Bon Temps and Gator fans. This year at
December Nights in Balboa Park we are having a Christmas Tree display
decorated in a Gator by the Bay theme. It would be a great help to
have donations for making the ornaments. Please note we are NOT requesting
any regular/standard Christmas ornaments, only those with a Gator by the
Bay theme. BJ West is making some ornaments from
old Gator by the Bay pamphlets. Donations are anything
musically/dance theme, Mardi Gras, alligators, crawfish
and parasols. NO beads are needed. Anything with a "by the
Bay" orientation, such as fish, whales, dolphins, mermaids, boats,
rafts, buoys, palm trees, planes, and trains. You can drop off your
Christmas Tree donations to Renee at the October and November Bon Temps
Social Club (BTSC) dances. Other drop off options
are BJ West 's mailbox at 2483 G street 92102 or the mail box/slot for Gator by the Bay office located at 2326 India Street, San Diego, CA 92101. Your donations
are truly appreciated!

From
Dana D. Almeda, Ca
HI everyone..wanted to thank all those folks who came out
last week to hear Annie Staninec and her All Star
Zydeco Boys, with Andre, Jim, Billy, Demetrius, and CJ..wow,
was it a great show..For those who missed it, you
missed as usual a kick ass show..I love booking
Annie with the guy who have backed her up the last few months..Every
time has just been a kick ass show..She plays
different than when she plays with Andrew Carrier, etc..not
better just different..There's more a harder
Zydeco Drive, with Annie playing her own unique style of fiddling..as I've said many times, Nobody quite does a
version of "Blue Runner' like Annie and the Zydeco Boys..Nobody!!!
not even in La..or Texas..But
then there is a really hard driving Zydeco Groove going on with the backup
so their you go..It was
all night long..From the first note to the last,
a good 2 1/2 hours..We'll see if it can be done
before the end of the year..
This coming Sunday,
Oct. 6, we'll have a Birthday Party, with Motordude
Zydeco, celebrating Both Billy Wilson's and Willy Jordans'
Birthdays..We've done this a few times now and
It's always a great time..MDZ also rocks out the
house every time they play..Doors 5, musc 5:45ish with a potluck as well if you want to
bring some foods but no drinks please..also bring
your dance shoes..thanks
I have decided to do
some shows for the rest of the year..They
are down below in the bold print..I think it will
be a good schedule and more may be added..
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..
Love my Niners 3-0..Super Bowl bound..
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..

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

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!
😊 Kerry

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.
