Saturday I had the pleasure of playing at the Fete Nationale l’Acadie / Acadian National Holiday at Port La Joye – known to some as Fort Amherst. Friday night we went out for the Spectacle with Angele Arsenault and Lennie Gallant. Angele is the picture of happiness and optimism – so wonderful. Lenny had his full band and sounded great.While Port La Joye is an historic place, it’s not the best to draw a big crowd on the summer night. The road out is so dark and twisty!
It rained on Saturday so the Kitchen Party with Robert Arsenault was in a tent. The setting was intimate and a little like camping out when the skies opened up.We all had a great time. I loved to hear the others play on my songs and you can hear the audience singing along in the video. It was heaven. I’ll edit more film soon and post it.
