...Well, I remembered it as soon as I started listening, via the Internet, to KBON, a 25,000-watt FM station in Eunice, La. My wife picked up the KBON vibe first. "You gotta hear this,"...

...Lawtell Community Grocery, we learned, is where to find turtle meat, video poker, plumbing supplies "and rubber boots for adults and children."

...Wow. This was no test-marketed format... Paul Marx rattles away ... Ohhhhhhhhh, cher!...

...Chretien Point is an enclave of long verandas and big trees... in Grand Coteau, we found Catahoula's...

...Seale Guesthouse ... tin-roofed with a wraparound porch... D.I.'s... Savoy Music... Savoy himself...

...Dewey Balfa Cajun boot camp... Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys... Gino Delafose... big pots of étouffée...

...dinner at Cafe Des Amis...
