HADLEY CASTILLE,
1933-2012
Cajun fiddler Hadley J. Castille, a frequent performer at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, passed away Thursday, October 25 after a battle with cancer. He was 79.
Castille is best known for the song "200 Lines: I Must Not Speak French," part of his drive to preserve Cajun culture in public schools.
His guitarist son Blake and fiddler granddaughter Sarah Jayde were in his band.
Castille was born to a Cajun French speaking family in Leonville, Louisiana where his uncle Cyprien Castille taught him to play the fiddle. Under the influence of Cajun violinist Harry Choates, he developed his own approach to the music.

MOJO MOUTH Wow. The hurricane damage in the northeast, and particularly New York City is really terrible. I really do have sympathy for New Yorkers, and everyone in that swath cut by Hurricane Sandy. You've got a long road ahead of you, and you have our deepest sympathies. We've been through it so many times down here. The "noise police" are still at it, and they have been since the late 1990s. When will the 1% stop trying to enforce its will on the 99% with money and power?    |

MARKING A MILESTONE WITH BASIN STREET RECORDS
November 14, 1997 is one of the most important dates in the recent history of New Orleans music. That night, Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers played to a packed Tipitina's - a performance that yielded the following year's The Barbecue Swingers Live album. That release marked local label Basin Street Records' first foray into the New Orleans music scene.
In the latest episode of OffBeat's Look-Ka Py Py Podcast, Basin Street Records founder Mark Samuels tells of the label's hectic early days, its hard-fought journey to the present and its plans to let loose for its 15th anniversary in November. (Spoiler Alert: Kermit's coming back to Tip's. To find out when, listen up!)
