Golden Meadow, Louisiana!!?? I didn't think anyone else in the world knew where that was! My father is from up the road in Larose. I spent many weeks there each summer at my Grandparents place .... on the bank of Bayou Lafourche. We would drive throgh Golden Meadow to get down to Grand Isle. When my parents moved to Texas, and then to New Jersey, my father lost that accent. But as he grew old, he started to talk Cajon again, and my kids (his grandkids) didn't know what the heck he was saying sometimes. Lol.

Hebert is pronounced A-bear, Bellinger is bull-long-jaa. Neutral is nutra. etc. Took me three years of living down the bayou to figure out what any of them were saying. When I first moved down the bayou, Golden Meadow area, I worked in a machine/welding shop for awhile. One day an old man came in while the boss was away and started waving his arms around and jabbering away at about 90 mph. After about ten minutes he stopped and just looked at me. Thinking he had been speaking french, I said to him, " You're going to have to run that by me in english because I don't speak french." He looked at me funny and said " But chi, I been talk'en english me along yeah." Well, it was no english I had ever heard before. [(-D][:O] [/quote]
