10/100 Strangers ~ Cecil

I met Cecil while I was browsing around the little town of San Augustine, Texas, one Saturday afternoon during a recent trip back to my roots.  He was picking up so much laundry and dry cleaning that I was sure he was probably an employee of the local cleaners near his parked vehicle.  But no, he was just getting his wardrobe in place for the coming week.  Saturday is a big day in Cecil's schedule because he is part of C-Dog & Sons Disco Road Show and they provide entertainment in various genres (blues, gospel, rap, R&B, oldies and Zydeco) at parties, weddings, reunions, or just anyplace people gather to have a good time.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Zydeco, it is a music medium which evolved in Southwest Louisiana in the early 19th century from forms of Creole music. The rural Creoles of Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas still sing in Louisiana Creole French.  I wish I could have photo'd Cecil at work but since that was impossible he agreed to pose in front of a vine-covered red brick building.  An extremely polite gentleman in a white starched shirt, he works during the week for a large poultry company.  Thank you Cecil for being No. 10!
