Jesse Lege and Edward Poullard with the Cajun All-Stars at Eagle's Hall

(6/16/02) What a great evening of traditional Cajun music! A new CD release marked the occasion as Jesse Lege and Edward Poullard, joined by the (Bay Area)  Cajun All-Stars, whooped it up and had a rollicking good time at Eagle's Hall on Friday night.  Great driving dance tunes... two-steps, line dances, waltzes and some energetic high spirited musicianship made this a wonderful night for Cajun music lovers.  Virtuoso fiddling by Edward Poullard, and hot accordion playing and soulful French vocals by Jesse Lege were joined by the fine steel guitar playing of our own Billy Wilson, plus Marty Jara on  guitar, Steven Strauss on bass and David "Killer" Hymowitz on drums.   Chris Strachwitz was in the house all evening filming the performance, and the band's new CD, on his Arhoolie record label, is excellent.
