Loved it. It was filmed about 10 miles from where I grew up. Many of the Alleman family still lives on that section of Bayou Pierre Part. Did you check out the width of that pirogue- hardly wider than Mr. Aleeman's butt.

I got a kick out of the tiny splash of coffee the lady served to those guys.

Thanks for posting that site Bear. Watched part of one film last night that had an interview with Sam Chatmon. He used to fish at Leroy Percy a lot back in 1976 when I worked there. Sam and Son Thomas performed together at a blues festival we had out there that year.

I et some at 4.
I'm getting pretty hungry,
I'm going back to eat some more.
I mean its good eating meat boys,
but it just tastes so bad.
