Once you’re turned on to the rhythmic sounds of Zydeco you can’t let it go. You start looking forward to the dances and celebrating with others your newfound love for the unique form of music that makes you feel good all over.  We all come together at the dances to have a good time and without a doubt we have an incredibly good experience.  We sway our hips; we hold each others hands and we move in time with the music while our ears take in the harmonious variations of tempos from the accordion.  The experience is elevated as the washboard, bass, electric guitar and drum players compliments every note. We openly express our love for Zydeco music and Zydeco dancing.  Zydeco is about family.  You can never be to young or to old to enjoy the sounds of Zydeco.  It’s happy music.  There’s nothing to compare it with because it’s in a class of its own. Zydeco dancing gives us the best cardio vascular we’ll ever want to get in a day.  Zydeco dancing in my opinion is one of the best Aerobic exercises out there that you can do.  That’s no joke especially when the musicians and the dancers get a groove going and songs can last up to fifteen minutes.  It’s really happening and we just keep going because that’s what Zydeco does to us.  We just keep the momentum going and the energy keeps building as the dancers and the musicians become one in the spirit of it all. We thank you for supporting this Zydeco Dance Fundraiser. It’s successful because you came out to support us.  You cared and you are helping families that were defenseless against a horrific hurricane and we appreciate you’re contribution to the cause.  You have helped and we thank you.       We appreciate the fine musicianship and extraordinary playing of our special guest Andre Thierry who has been blessed with a very incredible gift to play the accordion to the finest degree and make dancing that much more pleasurable.  His dynamo band Jason Thierry on rubbing board, Larry James on electric guitar, Chuck Bush on  bass guitar. Joining them were local musicians D.A. Bookman on saxophone, Jimmy Scott on electric guitar, and Phil Bloch on drums.  All of their remarkable musicianship elevates Zydeco music to a higher level.  I thank you in the spirit of love for the music, the dance and for each other. Remain reverent, stay positive and devoted supporters of Zydeco music and the outstanding musicians that keep it alive.  Keep doing the Zydeco and tell others about this moving style of music that’s in a class of its own.      Congratulations to Rita and John Senegal, Louis and Mary Ravare, Richard and Barbara King, Howard and Lucy Citizen, Vernon & Tuts  Simeon,  and lastly T-Lou and Joyce Eaglin  who were recipients of an award and recognized for their long time support of Zydeco music and dance.  Although Joyce, Lucy and Barbara are deceased they were still recognized at the dance and are still remembered and appreciated wholeheartedly.                                                                                      __________________________________________________________________________ March 26, 2006   Hello Zydeco supporters and friends,   This is a heart felt reminder and announcement of our Zydeco Dance Fundraiser on April 23, 2006 at the Crystal Rose in Culver City, Sunday 2:00p.m to 7:00p.m.  The Fundraiser is for the families related to James Senegal, my fiancee' .  At his web site http://www.luckysun215.org he provided information that would help raise money for his relatives who were directly affected by Hurricaine Katrina but he got very little response.  So he felt. if he couldn't get very many people to respond to their plight on the website then he thought  a Zydeco Dance Fundraiser would be the route to go.  I agreed wholeheartedly.  That is the very least  him and I could do to help his relatives out.  And after you as Zydeco fans can "pass a good time" at the fundraiser, you have also contributed to a good cause.  The fundraiser is to help people who are in need not for us  to make money.  However like most dances it cost to throw one.  The cost of the hall, the cost of the band, the cost of their accomodations, the cost for security, the cost of door prizes etc.  We hope you will find it in your hearts to assist us in our endeavor to help and join us at the Zydeco Dance Fundraiser featuring Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic. The tickets can be purchased through Jimmy and myself by making a simple phone call to us and we will make the arrangement to get you your ticket or you can purchase on line at James website through Paypal. I appreciate you reading this message and may you all be blessed on this day and everyday of your life.  Yours truly, Senorah Sam.  Information regarding the Zydeco Dance Fund Raiser can be gotten to at any of the following URLs. http://www.luckysun215.org, http://www.zydecodance.tv,  http://www.AndreThierry.net or http://www.zydecodance.com These sites will have all the information regarding the dance and some.  Browse around and have fun getting various information regarding Zydeco musicians, dance and much more.  Call us at 310 701-1196 or 310 701-8208 for tickets.  So!
