Feb. 7, 2009 - Day Two - Mulate's

Too many choices for a Saturday night --- There's Liberty Theater in Eunice, LA, where RENDEZVOUS DES CAJUNS, a live radio show is broadcast each week. Tonight is the Huval and Berard Family Bands, definitely good music. I heard them at Tipitina's in New Orleans during the December Cajun Fest. Or, take a quick drive to Baton Rouge to hear Hadley Castille (legendary Cajun fiddle player) at Boutin's - that's a restaurant, boudin is the sausage!

But nearby fits the bill, so off to Mulate's to dance to Kira Virator and Louisiana Red (her band). What a great way to digest your evening meal!! The dancers on the floor are a mixture of homegrown & tourists, but everyone is happy - smiling and laughing - and polite for the most part. No "bumper dancing" tonight. And might as well dance 'til the band goes home when you only live 3 minutes away --- now THAT's Life in Louisiana.
