America needs more zydeco. It should be pumped into the White House, right into the Oval Office. No one could plan a war with this music playing.

“Dick, I think we should tell the American people that WMD’s are hidden in … wait a second, what’s that music?”

The Internet could use some more zydeco as well. After a pretty thorough search, I could only find a few worthwhile videos — the kind that are not just the result of cellphones being pointed into dark corners. One can find a little bit more of the music, just no videos. I recommend that everyone check out the sound of Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas.

This week’s Music Friday, though, will feature the first lady of zydeco: Rosie Ledet. Here is a Tipitina’s selection of Rosie’s work. Be sure to click on “You and Me.”
