Interviewees: You’re putting off applying to Hike and Learn until the very last minute, aren’t you? That’s okay. I haven’t chosen anybody yet–I’ll wait until I have stuff from everybody who’s interested. The deadline is tomorrow (Monday). You can’t put it off any longer. T-Broussard, a short, wiry young man, was wearing a red-striped shirt, blue jeans, and a wispy goatee as he pumped out simple, two-step riffs on his single-row button accordion. Confronted by a room of older dancers, he avoided the more disco-flavored cuts from his latest album, Super T, and stuck to his more traditional material. This was a wise decision, for like his cousin Keith Frank, T-Broussard sounds like an imitator when he follows national R&B trends and an original only when he sticks to Louisiana’s indigenous zydeco. Our Wholesale Stop Smoking section features Nicorette and more.
