Very sad this morning to hear about the loss of the one of the giants of Zydeco, Buckwheat Zydeco (real name Stanley Dural) who helped to bring the music to the rest of the world. He along with a generation of artists like CJ Chenier, Zydeco Force, and Beau Jocques also helped to infuse Zydeco with Rock, Funk and Reggae. Another great musician lost in year we've lost too many. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/25/entertainment/stanley-dural-buckwheat-zydeco-dead/ <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MH2eRRh4Bls" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BVGIc8pT92k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uRRW3aine6Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Because HTML is turned off, so the bbs will no longer render "embed code." But, it's much easier now. It only needs a URL. At Youtube, when you hit Share...just grab that link that's already selected and past directly into your post here. The board will even wrap the MEDIA tag around it for you. Much, much simpler. It's what facebook does when you post URL links vs Embed code. Like this post if it was helpful, and if there's enough interest, I'll make some HOWTO videos of how to post content from every major social media site.
Buckwheat, Lil Brain, Kieth Frank, J Paul, Beau Jacques, Step Rideau... I joined a zydeco band in high school because of those guys. RIP
If you're doing a Cajun food night, like cooking crawfish, plug Buckwheat into Pandora and let it play.
