Lester's Tune-a-Day

  A tune about which I kn ew nothing, but my chum Rees Wesson tells me: I've always wondered why that tune is called Cajun Two-Step as it's unlike any Cajun music that I've heard (and I've heard a lot). Apparently, the tune comes from Nathan Abshire’s playing on the Sonet album ‘The Cajuns Volume 2' although it's not really a two-step.
