Dewey Balfa Cajun Fiddle
I'm sticking with the fiddle theme just a bit longer. Thanks for bearing with me. I found this lovely piece about Cajun fiddle great Dewey Balfa on YouTube. It's from a British TV show from the 80's.
Here is a site featuring some quotes by Dewey Balfa. And here's a short bio. The quote I like best is: "I refuse to be just another American plastic card with a number on it."

I have not heard of this fellow - enjoyed finding out about him.
Dewey Balfa and his brothers were very important fiddle players in Cajun music, who really helped to keep the music thriving.
