1914 - Wallace Cheese Read was born on this day. A cajun fiddler and a native of Eunice, Louisiana. Although considered a top-flight Cajun musician, he was never really a professional musician. His repertoire of tunes includes the lively "Fiddle Stomp," the livelier "Bosco Stomp," and the liveliest "Cajun House Party," the latter treated to a superb recording in collaboration with Marc Savoy. Cheese Read was one of a group of historic Cajun performers profiled by filmmaker Yasha Aginsky. He passed away on November 15, 1981 at 67 years of age. |
