LouisianaDancehalls.com reader comment Jane: “I remember how sad we were when Boo Boo’s burned down – we used to love to go dance to Beau Soleil there, among others, and every Sunday night there was a band. We used to dance to Marcia Ball and the Misery Brothers.
By the way, we used to dance differently then. I never danced the way they do now with all the steps of the feet. I don’t know if we all danced a different version which wasn’t really Cajun, but since I grew up in Lafayette and learned to dance there, and everyone then danced like I did, then it wasn’t a real Cajun dance step we were all dancing. It sure was fun no matter which way you are dancing.”

Coteau & Beasoliel played there- possibly old Midway Club?
