Loading...		East Texas / West Louisiana

		November 6th, 2002 ~ Explore the musical territory of the Texas-Louisiana border: It's a fertile frontier where country, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, jazz, blues and boogie merge into one another. American Routes visits the flashy zydeco accordion man Nathan Williams; Shreveport, Louisiana singer Dale Hawkins tells stories of his early rockabilly hit "Suzy Q"; and 90-year-old jazz pianist/songstress Nellie Lutcher talks about growing up in southwest Louisiana, then playing music in the other LA - Los Angeles.
