Grand Mamou - Queen Ida & the Bon Temps Zydeco Band-GirlgeoTVshow 

"Queen Ida," my aunt, is in Washington, D.C. today after being announced as (1 of 11) 2009 NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) recipient(s). This is the nation's highest honor in the Arts. Thursday, September 24th at the music center in Maryland, she will accept, quite possibly from the President of the U.S.A. (if rumor turns to fact.) Congradulations! We are all SO very proud of our Zydeco "QUEEN" for everything she has accomplished in her lifetime and on this achievement award!!!

That's my dad on fiddle.

I saw Queen Ida at Andy Capp's in Sunnyvale in 1978 and have loved her ever since

I love Queen Ida.

Queen Ida's smile is worth 500 pounds of crawdads and corn on the cob!! With a cool brew on the side.

Music that makes you happy :-)

Fantastic!

fantastique!

she is great

Good take on the old Link Davis tune

@tobarrr If that's your dad, he looks like a serious badass playing it.
