I figured at the time that later in my life, this wouldn't be possible anymore (and I suppose I was correct; it's been a while since I've been in the area but none of these people are likely to be around anymore, 15+ years later) so I'm glad I did. Pretty unique experience.
Pretty sure I've shared that anecdote already on SSP, whenever this sort of discussion comes up  |
In the late 1960s and early 70s there were one or two low power AM radio stations in Cajun Country that broadcast mostly in Cajun French. It was an oddity even back then. I am sure those stations disappeared with the rest of AM radio. I used to tune in sometimes driving from NO to Texas.
