Legend in his own time. I guess he's mid-70's, been playing cajun music, singing in French, traveling with bands most of his life. He did have a day job in heating & a/c, but now that he's retired he plays and sings for love. Today his granddaughter, Sarah Jayde joins him at the Blue Dog Cafe for a lively family set with his son, Blake on guitar. I can't remember the bass players name, but he is a 4-time grammy winner. Hmm, who's on drums? Eyes wide in amazement --- that's John Rees of the brother/sister band L'Angelus.
