It tickles me that a "roots band" from Belgium, of all places, has such a nice version of "Girl from Houma" -- that's where I'm talking about if I say I'm "going to town".

But somehow we roll on, and the circle goes around, and things get better.  Thank God, thank God.

"Louisiana Man" live, 1990, in Lafayette.


And much earlier -- studio original form, clearer lyrics, pretty pictures:

"Diggy Liggy Lo", 1974, at a Willie Nelson event.  Note all that hair!


And several "big names" in Cajun music help Doug belt "Jolie Blonde" at that same 1990 concert in Lafayette:
