One of my Brazilian friends even wanted to take issue with me for putting the two in the same post.

I got to play some zydeco over the years, and it was much inspired by Stanley and snap beans and okra, and I'm not kidding.<br />Can't begin to imagine the spectacle of Rio at Carnival.<br />Best music in town.Arnonoreply@blogger.com
