Dennis McGee is named an Honorary Dean of Cajun Music by the president of the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and performs on the 50-yard line before a Ragin' Cajuns football game against West Texas, September 19, 1982. He's joined by his brother-in-law and long-time secondeur Sady Courville and Michael Doucet on fiddles, Preston Manuel on guitar.
This edit (it's unclear whether there was more shot at the event) wasn't shot by Alan Lomax, but a further-edited portion of it appears in his American Patchwork film "Cajun Country." (Streaming online here: www.folkstreams.net/film,125.) Lomax remarks therein that "nothing like this has ever occurred anywhere else in the country, but it ought to." For more information about the American Patchwork filmwork, Alan Lomax, and his collections, visit culturalequity.org. [mv2008]

I am one of Dennis McGee's grand daughters and this was a very proud moment for us all. Same weekend he was also honored at Festival Acadian in Lafayette. Very fun and proud weekend! Also, he died in 1989 so not so soon after as the article says.

I am one of his great grand sons. Edolia Mcgee Dupre was my grandmother. (She was adopted into another family, however her biological father was Denis Mcgee.)

I had the privilege of being there that night - it was my first time going to a USL football game and I was so stunned by hearing them play that I bought a fiddle and started playing. Thanks for posting this. I have relived it in my mind many times and cannot believe that film of it actually exists.

Made me smile when Alan adjusted Mr McGee's cap for the cameraman, that's something we've all thought about doing from time to time. (:-)

Seems a very gracious and kindly man, in addition to a phenom on the fiddle.
