'' Bon ton roulie'' is cajun  phonetic way too write  '' bon temps rouler '' . it is french translation for '' good times roll ''

Aha, first time I've heard this since seeing him at the Rime. He's a master at holding the audience through lengthy solos.

I'd like to see anyone who thinks David Lindley can't play guitar sit down for a little one on one jam session with him. Most "players" couldn't keep up.

Lots of jamming on obscure stringed instruments - just him, no band.

Played a couple of Warren Zevon tunes, (Vast Indifference of Heaven & Seminole Bingo) which made me happy.

Go see him!

Lindley's no Cajun, it's bon temps rouler, of course. Appreciate his attention, he has paid dues. Parroting something he likes, as did Strummer, lovingly. My Acadian relatives would appreciate the capitalization, thanks.

 
Boh. Comme tu veux - les Cajuns. Est-tu felice? Quel type de Français parlent les Cajuns? Ce n'est pas Français moderne. Je suis desolé pour mes erreurs linguistiques - je n' ai pas beaucoups de chances de parler le Français a Nottingham :(

Oh, geez - I have GOT to save up my pennies for that one!  Life is finite, and by golly, Jackson Browne/David Lindley is one show I want to see before I die. (I already got to see Warren Zevon, thank goodness.)  Love this song - some very nasty slide work goin' on...{#Dancingbanana_2}

No matter how down you get, no matter how far up everything looks...a little David Lindley, and all's right with the world.

Is this really how the cajuns spell "bons temps roulée"? And how on earth can a recording be an "official bootleg" - shurely shome oxymoron? The noun/verb 'bootleg' comes from smuggling days and the whole essence of bootlegging is illegality - see the Chambers definition.

David Lindley is one of the most under-rated, over-talented instrumentalists ever. I think he, Lindsey Buckingham, and Leo Kottke are three of my favorite eclectic guitarists.

I saw him ages ago backing up Jackson Brown and Lindleyvwas awesome!  BTW...Phoebe Snow opened for Jackson and she blew the roof off with a cover of Neil Young's "Down by The River".

Great show!

  He's a lot of fun to see live.

I got "The Jimmy Hoffa Memorial Building Blues" added, but it hasn't been played in forever.

without the beer, crawfish, spicy sausage, and boiled red potatoes,  this song stands alone and is naked.  Sorry, need the atmosphere and the song improves dramatically.

I wholeheartedly agree about his live shows - he's always got the best musicians and Lindley is definitely one unique character. I carried out the rider on his contract for a gig he did many, many moons ago. It was a very, very cold night in a very, very lonely prairie town. They were great guys, if a little freaked out by -30 windchills. I remember one poignant conversation they had at dinner - they were deriding the state of music journalism - 'those guys don't know what they're talking about', one said. Lindley's comment was that they (music mags) all hire students with no music experience. Of course at the time I was writing a music column for the student paper - that conversation really struck a chord. I haven't written any music stuff since. Thanks for the reality check David.
