The band is Variety, specializing in Cajun and Zydeco, but Ethnic Music of many styles can be heard. The band is Cajun Dave as a solo act, of course other players make up the band in duets trios and 5 to 6 pieces! The instruments consist of Fiddle, Guitar (6 & 12 string, electric) Mandolin, Banjo, Harmonica, Squeezebox, Bass, Drums, Island Steel Pan Drums, Djambe, Bamboo Xylophone, Moroccas, Scrubboard (Frottier) Triange (Tefar) Spoons, Slide Flute etc. Cajun Dave is a high energy performance, but can lay back for conversation or corporate functions.

Story behind the song
23 years ago I sat in my little 24 foot travel trailer in Murfreesboro Tennessee, with my wife, 2 children at the time and my little Dachshund. I wrote two songs that week. Last Cajun Song & Sweet Dreams of Louisiana. I was missing my homeland of Louisiana terribly, as we had lived in Tennessee for several years. I worked for a janitorial company as I was perusing my musical career. Several of my Louisiana songs were written while I was vacuuming and cleaning the department stores. This one may have been started there, and finished in my lil travel trailer.
Lyrics
Had a dream the other night about going back to Louisiana Sweet Dreams Southern Nights Simple Creole living, no sounds or city lights Like the full moon shining on the bayou marshes I'll be home tonight I'm having, Sweet Dreams of Louisiana Don't wake my cajun spirit, in these hills of Tennessee Having Sweet Dreams of Louisiana, my cajun hearts in the bayou country, Lord its callin' me It's been years now, since I've been back in Louisiana The sweet smell of Southern Rain The sweet aromas, of magnolias and chickory And the warmth of a cajun mashadamio Lord you can see what I mean
