Alligator and the Bayou Boogie Band

Alligator with fierce but captivating eyes sometimes red glare The Man with a title given by the High Priest of his Tribe A man gifted at Birth for the World to be entertained by. Though much more then the Entertainer inside ~ This Man a poet , a man of wisdom and power Playing his cordless accordion or Guitar on the tiny Bar Powerful stares , people dancing crazy underneath a moonlit sky His trance , a spell on others , not to be denied A Force stronger then you will know , be dared to reckon with His name was given at birth for a reason , A Scorpio Legacy throughout Europe and deep woods in the Bayou Alligator loved by many , playing Jimmy Hendrix to Zydeco Alligator , the man on fire , women can not help but desire In Monterey Bay, California, he plays , magical surprise be warned if you go with date to see him "Alligator " At the end of your dancing to Zydeco and blues your date will be in Trance , one glare into his eyes she will be wanting He at the end of the night , your demise.

I used to go out to see Alligator in Monterey back in the early 90's. Are you still in contact with him? I had a couple of his tapes, but lost them over time. I now manage a restaurant and we have a music program that he would likely have no interest in, but I would like to see how he's doing.

File Gumbo and Zydeco --- Great contributions to Americana... Loved your tribute... Reminded me of many memorable nights at Pat O'Brien's in N'Orleans before Emile (Emcee) passed on.... Jake

Hats off to you and your friend. It's good to see Zydeco alive and well. (I'm a big fan of Beau Jocque myself)
