I was looking through Dad’s blog (scrapbook) for a quote
supposedly by Dennis McGee saying he used to be called Créole but now it’s
popular to be called Cajun. I couldn’t
find it but I know it’s there somewhere.
It came from a book about music.
Anyway, I came across places in Evangeline Parish that I haven’t heard
of before. I listed all, including the
ones I already knew about. I’m not sure
where the information comes from.
