Jerry Carrier of St. Pete, FL, writes the following about Roy Carrier:
As most of you know, Roy Carrier has had serious health problems for some time. Recently they have taken a turn for the worst. While hospitalized for his continuing leg problem, it was discovered that he had cancer in his lung. He is now undergoing chemotherapy. I talked with Roy earlier this week, and in typical Roy Carrier fashion he dismissed it as a minor issue. He said, "It's a little spot of cancer in my lung, and we're going to beat it with this chemo." (Another source indicates it may be worse than that.) Let's hope Roy is right.
Roy also said, "I didn't know I had so many friends all over the country." The cards and letters he has been getting really cheer him up in this dark time. I'm writing this to ask that, if you haven't already, please send Roy a card. A small card might not be a big deal for you, but it is to Roy. As I have said in the past, Roy has done so much to bring pleasure to us in the dance community, it's now our opportunity to bring a little brightness to his world.
Roy's address:

Frank Family Fundraiser
(from Joe Giocastro promoter of Sal's Productions in Rhode Island) We are organizing a fundraiser for the great family of Creole musicians from Lake Charles, LA, the Franks. Preston, who is a fixture at Rhythm & Roots and the Grassroots Festival and the father of Keith and the Frank Family Band was laid off from his job in November. His wife, Louise, had a stroke just before Christmas. Preston is now at home handling Louise’s physical and medical needs. That is why he has to cancel playing at this year’s Mardi Gras Ball (at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet) with Donna the Buffalo.
We are appealing to the Dance community and it’s generosity to throw it’s support and help raise funds for the Frank Family. So far the Boston Zydeco Dance series, the Woonsocket Mardi Gras Ball and Sal’s Productions have joined our efforts. They will be actively seeking donations at their upcoming events. We will be accepting donations of any size. People can write checks to Lagniappe Productions and send them to 255 Holly Road, Wakefield RI 02879. Please write for the Frank Family in the ledger line.
On the night of the Mardi Gras Ball at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet, we will be actively soliciting donations during the course of the evening. Anyone who donates an amount of $10 or greater will automatically be considered to be eligible to be awarded a full weekend pass to one of these three events: the Bayou & Boogie Fest in Rehobeth MA in May, the Grassroots Fest in Trumansburg NY in July and the Rhythm & Roots Fest in Charlestown RI in September. We will post the names of the people receiving these tickets the day after the Ball. Info: (401) 965-0849 | | |

Catahoula Cajun Band s a New York-based group that plays Cajun dance music of South Louisiana, with some Country songs thrown in for good measure. Whie all the band members hail from north of the Mason-Dixon line, their love of toe tappin' dance and folk music inspired them to tackle the two-steps, waltzes, and French lyrics of Acadian Louisiana. The name of the band is taken from the Catahoula Hog Dog, native to Louisiana. Catahoulas are known for their high energy and good effect on children. We like to think our music shares those traits...with Julie Winterbottom on accordion, Maggie Hoffee on vocals and guitar, Riccardo Heald on fiddle, David Wander on vocals and electric guitar, Frank Luschinsky on bass, and guest Deborah Monlux on fiddle.

One of Our Premier Events of the Year -- Lets Zydeco Mardi Gras
C.J. CHENIER & the RED HOT LOUISIANA BAND
The Boston Globe calls him "The Crown Prince of Zydeco". Living Blues Magazine hails him as "The best living zydeco singer and accordionist". To his legions of fans, he's the man whose music moves them deep in their souls, and to those who love to dance he's the man who makes holes in the soles of their shoes. He is the source of the infectious, rhythmic music fueling the dance parties that erupt whenever he plays. He is Clayton Joseph (C.J.) Chenier, son of legendary zydeco master and pioneer, Clifton Chenier.
Carrying on the legacy of his late father, "The King of Zydeco" Clifton Chenier, C.J. has been fronting the famous Red Hot Louisiana Band for almost 2 decades, reinvigorating the genre with his exceptional musicianship. He has garnered several "Zydeco Album of the Year" awards, consecutive Living Blues Critics awards, and a 1997 NAIRD Indie award. As the Chicago Defender aptly states, "Complex, driving rhythms force you to dance. A powerful, soulful vocal delivery forces you to listen".
Connolly's has a tasty and reasonably priced dinner menu, a full bar, hip bartenders and a beautiful sprung wooden dance floor. There is no minimum.
The LETS ZYDECO shows are friendly community events, set up for dancing, socializing or listening. We welcome your attendance. You do not need to come with a partner to have a great time. Advance tickets not needed -- pay at the door, everyone will get in.
