This is the best music venue I have ever seen. A bowling alley from the 1960's which has made no attempt to keep up with the times, a stage installed at one end, a long bar where drinks are cheap and plentiful, good Cajun food served in minutes and, on the night we were there, the Legends of Zydeco playing... C. J. Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco etc. And all the while the lanes of the alley are packed with people bowling.
The crowd is a very mixed one, working stiffs using their local alley, music lovers and a large number of Cajun and Creole people who come up from the country in their trucks and they come to dance; it is contagious and for the second time in one day I find myself dancing. I think this journey might be working.
