Episode 109: Hot Sauce Moon
Walter Comeaux IV & The Perfect Dad Lawn
Welcome to this week's episode of AcadianaCasts Presents:
Today, we are thrilled to have Walter Comeaux IV, an engineer from Broussard, LA, join us for a conversation about his experience with the flood of 2016.
Walter shares his personal story of how he and his family were affected by the flood, as well as his frustration with the response from the state and insurance companies. He speaks candidly about the challenges working through the "Restore Louisiana" program.
In addition to discussing the flood, Walter talks about his journey of rediscovering his Cajun roots through learning Cajun music. He shares how this has been a source of joy after becoming jaded towards his Cajun roots.
We also touch on the recent announcement that Lauren Daigle will be headlining Festival International, an annual music festival in Lafayette, LA. Walter shares his thoughts on the "backlash" via social media to the announcement.
Finally, we wrap up our conversation with a lighthearted discussion about the art of cutting grass. Walter, who takes great pride in his lawn, shares his tips and tricks for achieving the perfect cut.

Harmonica Fundamentals with Joe Filisko - Single Notes and Tongue Blocking
Lee Sankey continues his deep dive into the fundamentals of playing the harmonica with Joe Filisko. In this episode Joe and Lee discuss fundamental number four - Single Notes and Tongue Blocking.
This is a monster, 1 hour and 15 minute unashamed, geek out on topics such as bending tongue blocked, how Sonny Boy Williamson used full tongue blocks to get his attack, how to feather notes, accessing genre's like cajun music and just how long it takes to learn some of these techniques.
SPECIAL LIVE EVENT - Look out for details of a special live online event about this series where you can ask Joe and I questions about the themes we've been exploring. To hear about the date and how to get tickets subscribe to my newsletter at leeesankey.com or follow my Facebook page.

Musical Families
In Acadiana, business is a tradition and tradition is a business - often the family business. There’s a long heritage of musical families around here, dynasties of fiddlers and accordion players handing down the tools and tricks of the family trade to generation after generation.
It’s one of our greatest exports. Lafayette practically pumps out ranks of acclaimed Zydeco and Cajun musicians and most of them are carrying on something they learned from their parents and their parents’ parents. Throw a rock in any direction. You’ll probably hit a Grammy nominee. Throw another, you’ll hit her momma.
Christiaan's guests on this edition of ut to Lunch Acadiana are both internationally celebrated musicians from famous Cajun families.
Virginia-born Ann Savoy married into the Savoy family of Eunice and has toured internationally with her band the Magnolia Sisters which explores the feminine side of the Cajun tradition — they’re not actually her sisters. Ann is a writer and will soon publish the second volume of her archival work Cajun Music: A Reflection of a People.
Louis Michot grew up in a big, sprawling Cajun music family. Since 1999, he’s toured internationally with Lost Bayou Ramblers, a band he started with his brother Andre 20 years ago. Lost Bayou won a Grammy for their 2017 record Kalenda. Recently, Louis launched Nouveau Electric Records, a label that puts out experimental artists rooted in Louisiana French musical traditions.
Out to Lunch is recorded over lunch at The French Press in downtown Lafayette. See photos by Lucius Fontenot and more at our website.
