NEW ORLEANS — As 84-year-old Cajun music legend Doug Kershaw looks back, he's still looking ahead too — fiddling, singing, writing and performing as the quintessential “Louisiana Man.”
In early February, he'll headline a festival in Spain. He's booked May 2 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
Kershaw says he's honored that his music has lasted so long.
Kershaw's autobiographical “Louisiana Man” is among nearly 500 songs he's written and recorded. He's filled in lots of details in a recently published 320-page memoir about his hard childhood, his high-flying, hard-drinking and drug-wracked career and his hard-won happiness.
