Cajun Jam Session -Louisiana

When we checked into the Lafayette KOA they told us that there was a Cajun Jam session held every Friday night close to where we were so we decided to go and have a listen. This is where the jam session was held. In La Maison de Begnaud which is also a tourist information center. Sometimes the jam session is held in this outside location. What a surprisingly wonderful evening. We listened to a group of about 14 musicians, all varying ages, some guitarists, violinists, accordion players and some playing spoons and triangles. Most of the audience kept time to the music with triangles or spoons. The performing group kept changing as one would tire and the next would anxiously take their place. We were made to feel so welcome and were offered spoons and triangles so that we could participate in the music.
