A tribute to District Judge Preston Aucoin. He died Thursday, October 30, 2008 and was survived by his wife, Linda Francois Aucoin; two sons, Gilbert J. Aucoin and Preston Pokey Aucoin Jr.; two daughters, Toni Aucoin and Jessica Freelander; one brother, Gilbert Winky Aucoin; one sister, Mary Alice Fontenot; and six grandchildren.
He loved to speak French, spoke it well and was territorial, favoring the southern parishes, particularly ours (Evangeline).
He often referred to himself as a Mediterranean man and the last Renaissance man of Evangeline Parish. Perhaps he was.
He is missed by all who knew him.

Of course, you can! Cajun & Zydeco music (popular folk music in Louisiana) is one of the most obvious kind of music that you can play on an accordion.

I like the Zydepunks, they are a New Orleans-based Cajun/Irish/Punk band. They sing in German, French, Spanish, Yiddish, and English!
So good!
I like Rammstein 
They are a German Rock/ industrial band.
I like to listen to it in German and then find out what it means in English.
When me and my Friends listen to them I am the only one that knows what the lyrics mean.
Lolz its nice to know things that you’re friends don’t
