Reader Reviews
Ms. Savoy, wife of the Marc Savoy, maker of the great Cajun accordions, has produced a great work of scholarship that combines expertise in the Cajun cultural and musical tradition, with marvelous transcriptions of music and photographs of the greats of Cajun music. This is an absolutely essential work for the folklorist, Cajun music, dance, and culture afficionado, Louisianan and Australian alike. For younger Louisianans who are being introduced into their own cultural tradition, this will be one of their "bibles". Get your "sea" or "ski" legs in Louisiana by assimilating Ms. Savoy's work first--whether you are a musician, dancer, student of regional American tradition, or want to learn about on of the great living cultural areas remaining in America.
