The Doug Kershaw Interview

The unincorporated land of Louisiana. Where the native Americans of of all descents were Unencumbered by cultural biases and norms. These were small communes of different peoples who were bombastic and playing regional Music of the swamps. My guest plays Cajun Fiddle in myriads of settings and his musicianship and entertaining capacities are in the same class as Professor Longhair and Bill Monroe, Dolly Parton and John Lee Hooker. He grooves and growls playing live aid benefits for the farmers who toiled that unincorporated land where my guest dwelled with Louisiana Woman and Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. My guest came of age when the music industry was regionally based with different sounds that emanated from the swamps and the bogs and the mountains and the parks and the urban squaller. However you square it, my guest has all these elements in his music which is why it is such a treat to have him with us live....Doug Kershaw welcome to the JFS...
