New Orleans JAZZ NHP’s Song o’ the Day:
“Lovebridge Waltz”
We’re recognizing a double-date, today. This morning, upon wishing my “Cherie Amour” a merry #SignificantOtherDay, she responded with the rejoinder that, “Yes, and it is also #ParasiteAwarenessDay!” What the heck…? I should have stuck with “Cinco de Mayo” or the New Orleans version: “Sinkhole de Mayo”!
Anyway, in homage to this dopple-date for both our Sig-O’s who vent and those Parasites we’d prefer to circumvent, here is a Jean Lafitte NHP&P produced Cajun Waltz wherein the lamenter seems as stymied as am I over the vicissitudes of relationship.
Originally recorded in the 1940’s by Iry LeJeune, this is the song that brought back the diatonic accordion to Cajun music during the “string band era”, according to the accompanying booklet.
From: From One Generation to the Next: A Legacy Preserved
Funded by: Lower Mississippi Delta Initiative of the National Park Service
Original by: Iry LeJeune
Performed by: Delo “Bubba” Hebert (Iry’s 13-year-old Great-grandson)
