SFBayou.com started providing Cajun and Zydeco music and dance information on the Web based out of San Francisco in 1995.   When this site got started, hardly anyone I knew had an email address, let alone internet access. Things have changed a lot since then, including the focus of this website.  In 2004  I moved permanently from San Francisco to  Southwest Louisiana. My articles now originate from ground-zero of this wonderful culture.

Coverage of the San Francisco Bay Area has now been discontinued.   You can find information on Bay Area events by checking out Ellen Papper’s calendar. 

I have archived my original Journal articles and photographs, from 1996 through 2007, here. The majority of the content is intact, but for a number of reasons, you may find that not all the links and photographs work.


Here is what you can now find on SFBAYou.com:

• Original writing and photographs relating to Cajun, Creole and zydeco music and culture and Southwest Louisiana,  mostly originating from the San Francisco Bay Area and Southwest Louisiana. The Blog entries originate from Lafayette Louisiana starting in 2009. The Journal Archive includes articles published in SFBayou.com dating back to 1996.

• A guide to the rich cultural resources in the Acadiana region, from a Cajun & Creole music-lovers perspective

• A "Transplants" Guide to living in and moving to Acadiana. I can't tell you how often I get questions about this subject.   

• A selected guide to CDs, books, videos and films   (these pages are in the process of being updated)

• An annotated list of other related Web Resources
