Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
He’s setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can,
He’s gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man,
He’s gotta make a living, he’s a Louisiana Man!"
sorry about the low level audio on this clip!)
For those of
Uniwlling to alter my focus for this week, and unable to find the version of that particular song for my Music Monday contribution, I did find another Cajun country-flavored tune which better captured the spirit of "Papa Thibodeaux," at least the version I grewed up on,"Louisiana Man" by Doug Kershaw. Not surprisingly enough, Kershaw's tune also appeared on the Best of Cajun Country CD.Why was I hoping to post the song "Papa Thibodeaux" in the first place? Quick recap: When I was a child my mom and (step) father had my middle name removed from my birth certificate, so I grew up with no middle name. About twelve years ago, I began using the middle name "Thibodeaux" (appearing in most cases imply as "T"), based primarily on that song (from the CD above) and the fact that in sounded good with my first name, which is a hyphenated French name. There's more of a story to this, but why bum ya'll out on Music Monday?
So, as they say in Cajun country..."Let the good times roll," or
Laissez les bon temps rouler!

There are plenty of songs that I've wanted to choose for my MM but I can't find on YouTube. Like yours, I always find someone other than the original singer doing a remake on the song of my choice.
Anyways, I can't seem to listen to Louisiana Man.. something wrong with my speakers. I'll come by again to check it out! :) Happy Music Monday, Scotty!
thanks for the comment... you may want to turn up the volume on your speakers... the audio is at a low level--i probably shoudl have mentioned that--and now will ;)
cheers!
