CA JUN MUSIC
Sing, dance or just listen
By Scott Yoshonis News Editor
There are plenty of places to cut a rug to Cajun music in Houma and Thibodaux. Several restaurants transform into dance halls at night and provide residents with some old-fashioned fun.
It’s not hard to find a local place to enjoy Cajun music, typified by a rhythmic accordian and a lively waltz that is great for dancing the two-step. [FILE]
