“Harry Choates played the music I grew up with—Cajun music that my grandfather used to play for me, when I was a really little girl. I’m from Biloxi, but grew up with my grandparents. My grandfather’s from Abbeville, south of Lafayette, and he couldn’t even speak English until he was seven. He’s passed on, but I’d listen to him speak Cajun and see him and my grandmother dance the two-step and stuff.
