Five Foot Two – Cinq Pieds Deux – In Cajun French!

In March, 1929 Okeh records gathered a representative group of Acadian French “Cajun” musicians from Lafayette, Louisiana in Atlanta Georgia for one of the first recording sessions featuring their music and culture. What resulted were eight sides that featured both Cajun standards and their interpretations of some popular American songs of the day. This version of “Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue” is performed by Patrick “Dak” Pellerin accompanying himself on the Banjo in both French and English. This is Okeh 45332 recorded March 20th, 1929.
