2004 Mardi Gras Pictures

Fred Charlie and the Acadiana Cajuns performed for a Saturday afternoon street dance in front of the store he operates with his wife, Dee's Cajun Gifts (also the location of his recording studio). He is shown on guitar. Two other members of the band are Elridge Aguillard on fiddle and Jeff Thibodaux on drums. The other photos show Belton Richard, who performed on the same stage that night with his Musical Aces. Richard, who has been on the scene for more than 50 years, continues to have a wide following among Cajun music fans.
