Cajun Triangle – Lesson One
An instructional video for beginning cajun triangle players. I demonstrate how to hold the T’fer, how to handle the beater, how to get those “Clunk-a” and “Cling-a” sounds, and how to play along to Cajun waltzes and two-steps. I am a good triangle maker, though only a novice player myself. Please listen and play along to the fine traditional cajun players on Youtube and on the many CDs available.

DAVID LINDLEY
David Lindley David Lindley and his band are also flying in from Los Angeles just for their appearance at the Rockpalast Open Air Festival at the Loreley. It will be David Lindley’s only appearance in Europe this year. Lindley is an American and has been on the road under his own name for a little more than a year: Nevertheless, at least for the people on the American west coast that know their music, he has been well- known for a while, particularly because of his long-time work as a guitarist for Jackson Browne. On top of that, he’s played with almost everyone: Crosby and Nash, Linda Ronstadt and Ry Cooder are only three names.
David Lindley’s career can be divided into four parts: As a fourteen-year old, he began to acquire knowledge of the guitar by copying rock’n'roll singles. In the early ’60s, he changed over to acoustic folk music and played in cafes and bars. Around 1965, he formed the cult band ‘Kaleidoscope’ , with which he wanted to create a “musical synthesis of all music styles”. The next step was working together with Jackson Browne, whose records and concerts wouldn’t be so well-known without the unique sound of David Lindley’s electric steel guitar.
The last station for David Lindley, until now, is his own band, with whom he also appeared to an enthusiastic audience in November, 1981, at the Rockpalast Concert in the Metropol in Berlin. In an almost two-hour long concert, Lindley presents the whole range of his musical abilities: As a guitarist, as a steel-guitarist, as a violinist, with the mandolin guitar and the Hawaiian ukulele, and, of course, as a singer.
The musicians of his band give him optimum support, as singers as well as with their instruments. A cut from this concert, the ‘Mercury Blues’, caused a great sensation at the 10th Rockpalast Festival: On the one hand, everyone was very impressed with the abilities of this band, and on the other, it was twice as sad that during the second attempt, the high tech messed up the enjoyment of the whole number.
That will surely not happen on August 28th. “David Lindley became a term in all of Europe with his appearance at the Rockpalast. Later, he was able to play in sold-out concert halls. A full-blooded musician who was also able to put 17,000 fans under his spell, with his acoustic pieces.”

Houston late-night or "dive" restaurants (and bars)?
My old college roommates and I are coming in for the Texas Bowl. Although we like spending time with other alumni at the game, we’d like to try a little bit of the local culture. We’d prefer to avoid tourist traps and warehouse-style restaurants.
Any restaurants you’d recommend? Cajun, South American, Barbecue, or Tex-Mex would be preferred because we can get a lot of the other foods in the places we live. Of course, any good food would be fine.
As for bars, anything with pints, darts, and a place to talk would be good. We see each other about once every five years, and at least two of the three of us aren’t looking to meet anyone. Good beer and a decent jukebox would be nice too.
Thanks.
Cajun: the Ragin Cajun is the best. The location on Richmond Ave is the original and the only one I have ever been to. If you want to avoid other tourist stay from the one on Main St.

South American: Nelroe Churrascaria is an all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse. It is on Montrose Blvd. and tends to be more up scale. Price is around $30.00 to 40.00 per person.

Barbecue: The one and only place for barbecue in Houston Goode Co., Barbecue on Kirby Dr. All the meats are slow cooked to perfection on mesquite and the sauce is good and spicy.

It may be hard to find a good Tex-Mex that is not going to crowded. The better ones tend to be packed with locals.
As far as a hole in wall kind of place I like La Mexicana on Fairview St.

The best Tex-Mex in town is at Ninfa’s on Navigation Blvd. This the original location of a chain of restaurants but this one is the only one still run by the same family to started the chain. It is located just outside of downtown behind Minute Maid Park. Several downtown hotels send tourist there and locals tend to keep it crowded but there is not better place for Tex-Mex.
