 I threw a garden party around the time of the first Artweek in Oxford and had 

something to do with it's inception as I had started the Oxford Artist's Group 

with fine local painter, Andy Walton and others so we threw a party on 

the opening day and largely played Louisiana Rock n Roll, Rhythm and Blues and, Fais Do Do 

wouldn't ya know, lots of Cajun music too. 

I had enjoyed Clifton Chenier thanks to John Northcote over at Sunshine records 

in town and loved the sound of Zydeco which made me want

to research earlier and earlier work
