Recently
Chubby Carrier visited St. Louis, playing at
the Off Broadway club. From Lafayette, LA, Chubby
brought his unique Zydeco sound to his loyal
St. Louis following, exhorting them to "get
on down to Louisiana, and have a real good time"......
An enthusiastic washboard player had the crowd
participating, bringing fans onstage for thier
turn with the spoons! Zydeco, if you're not
familar, is a very contagious party sound.
Most
people find themselves unable to resist its
beat, and end up irresistibly drawn to the dance
floor to move to the music a bit, and this evening
was no different!
As
they launcehd into thier trademark song "Who
stole the hot sauce", a bottle of this
fiery stuff appeared in the hands of the rubboard
player, who then proceeded to dish out shots
to whomever had a craving...which was quite
a crowd!
It
became sort of a Zydeco limbo session, as revelers
danced under the bottle for a taste of this
cajun treat. Quite entertaining as a spectator
sport!
And of course, Chubby chose to end the set with
a tribute to the 'King of the Zydeco', Clifton
Chenier. A great show, as high energy as a performance
can get. Never fail to catch the Zydeco magic
that is Chubby
Carrier!
