Thank you!

Who could listen to you for two minutes and 40 seconds and not smile and stomp their feet? Why not make videos and put your group on Youtube.com. Let the entire world see and enjoy Sauce Piquante. You folks might become  international household names.

 And thank you for the encapsulated history of your genre and of the tune Jolie Bassette.

Hey!  I like okra, too.

It rocks

Spent a week in N.O. in 1987 and stayed with friends who were then in school at Tulane. Saw the Neville Bros at Tips, a good band at Tyler's, the Radiators at another place, oh and the SubDudes when they were a bar band, brass bands on the street, I even ended up in a house where the band was set up in the kitchen and the singer stood in the doorway. Saw more bands than I can remember. I have been there several times but that trip stands out. You guys would have fit right in. Great stuff.

Thanks so much, Matthew!

Thanks so much, Matthew!  We've had some great trips to New Orleans, too, and of course heard some great music.  (Although it should be pointed out that Cajun-Creole music is based in the area to the southwest, centered on Lafayette.  So that's where my musical "home" really is.) Even been to the N.O. Jazz Festival?  We made it there for the first time  few years ago, the last year before Katrina.  So sad to realize it won't ever be the same.

Thanks, Dennis!  I don't

Thanks, Dennis!  I don't know about household names, but the fellow who took the video does plan to post on Youtube.  I've actually signed a permission  form, but he want us to look at the video first, supposed to invite us over to his house or something.  I'll let you all know!  Okra, hmm, not crazy about it.  Fried okra is okay.
