Glade to be back

<< < (5/6) > >>

bluzman:
Hello there Darren,
Good to hear from you. Your last name is very familiar to me. Were you born in Louisiana?
I am from a part of Canada where a lot of people had to leave, were forced to leave, because of politics and religion.
A lot of folks went to the South and started their lives over. Shame on Canada.
I love most music. The only form I really don't care for is rap. The messages there don't sit too well with me.
   I have music from old bluesmen like Robert Johnson into rock n roll, country rock in its' different forms, country to jazz.
  A lot of it is beyond my abilities to pull off well. I try to get in a little time each day on the guitar.
I feel for you and all of the people who were devastated by Katrina. One of my nephews lives in Beaumont Texas. He did do some
work there in New Orleans with an EMS group during that terrible time.
I hope to be able to keep in touch with you.
Peace Brother, Ches

Dave in Tenn:
Welcome back, Darren.  Still cooking?

darren:
Hey Dave, It's good to see ya. I missed you guys. Yes I am still cooking. Man, now that I think about it, I've been working in the restaurant biz. for 30yrs. WOW!!, that is a long time. To bad It was not at one place. I could have Retiered. Anyway, it sure is kind of you to take the time to notice the small things in ones life. I'm glade your still here. Hey I have a great idea. I plan on going to the Mobile conf. and If anyone is flying into New Orleans and then driving to Mobile they will have to pass right by my house. I live right off interstate 10 close to the Miss. state line. A city named Slidell. From there it's about 3hrs to Mobile. All of yall can stop over my house and I will cook up some cajun favorits.
Sea food Gumbo, soft shell crab, BBQ jumbo shrimp, or how bout we do a crawfish boil or better known as (crayfish) depending on where your from. OH YAAA!! Now that"s New Orleans. We'll have a good ol time. Then we'll be on our way.

darren:
Hey Bluzman: Yes, I was born in Louisisna. Arseneaux,(r-sin-no). The Arseneauxs orginated from France. Came over in the 1700s Landed in Louisiana. One of my kin whos last name was Tibadeaux (Tib-a-doe) ended up in Louisiana and the place they lived was named after him. He actually was the founder of  Tibadeaux, which is now a city in La. This is what my family tree said. One never knows,  some of thoes branches could be wrong. Anyway, You stated that many people were forced to leave Canada due to religious or political reasons. How long ago was that?? I thought Canada was a democrated country.
