One more time with the Balfa Brothers

'Madeleine' getting us through the lunch hour today.

If it's Fat Tuesday, it's Johnny's Cajun Music Mardi Gras Day!

Getting 2017's version of Mardi Gras Day started with who else, The Balfa Brothers and 'La Danse de Mardi Gras'

Fat Tuesday already?

Christ, where does the time go? Normally Johnny likes to put more time into his Mardi Gras Day presentations. We'll start with the Balfa Brothers and 'La danse de Mardi Gras' which, even if you don't speak French we're guessing you can figure out the translation.

With apologies, getting a late start on Mardi Gras today!

Fat Tuesday is here so let's hear some Balfa Brothers and 'La Danse de Mardi Gras'

We're devoting the rest of the day to Mardi Gras and that GREAT Cajun music!

It is Mardi Gras on the streets of New Orleans which means here on the frozen streets of Jersey City, Hoboken, and New York City we can warm up with some of that great Cajun music.

The best to our long lost New Orleans correspondent Ms. Oddzymandias, this one's for you sweetie. The Balfa Brothers with 'The Acadian Two-Step'

Another quick cajun classic from The Balfa brothers

If you're a movie buff you may recognize this song from the climatic final scene in the movie 'Southern Comfort'. We'd use the clip from the movie but then you'd have to watch a pig get slaughtered and you'd simply hate that, trust Johnny.

The Balfa Brothers with 'Parlez Nous A Boire'.

Welcome to Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras 2011

Oh we'll have a lot of fun today celebrating the great cajun culture down Louisiana way as we do every Fat Tuesday. Hopefully our N'awlins reporter Ms. Oddzymandias will favor us with pictures, video and fun from her hometown today.

We'll kick it off with the Balfa Brothers and 'Les Veuves de la Coulee'

With all the hoopla about the New Orleans Saints and the city of New Orleans we bring you a Mardi Gras webcam

The Jersey City Desk's New Orleans intrepid correspondent Ms. Oddzy told us there is a webcam up and running so you can watch the Mardi Gras parades that go on all time of day with all sizes of processions. Throw some Balfa Brothers on and get your Mardi Gras on.

Come on down to Nawlins on Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras fans

We'll start our tribute to Louisiana and New Orleans with some real cajun music from the Balfa Brothers.
