I remember Justin Wilson's comedy records from the 60s and 70s. But wasn't it later shown that he was not even "Cajun"?

Then you must remember 'Moose turd pie.' The funniest bit if ever heard. My father would just gasp from laughing so hard.

He was from Texas, but one of his parents was a cajun. An' mais, I tell you one ting; you got yo'self one pah'ent dat's a coon ass, den YOU a coon ass too. Once you get a little cajun spice in yah blood, yah ain't gettin' it out.

Oh My, no no. This is like loosing a frien'. Justin was a true pioneer in more ways than one. He was one of the first along with Brother Dave Gardner to bring out comedy records. The later he cleaned up with the cooking shows. Not many of us folks would watch Julia Child or Graham Kerr, but we'd sure as Hell watch Justin and drool all the way through his thirty minutes, and laugh at his stories even if we heard it all before.

My wife and her family knew Justin and he was a true Southern Gentleman and never a put on. In other words he was jes' folks. He could also be called the Firsr Ambasador of Arcadia. Millions of Americans would have never known a Cajon if it wasnt for Mr. Wilson. Later today, I think I'll drink a pearl pop witht he foam on top in his honor. God bless his soul.

Justin was around a long time, and I, too, had read that he was from New Jersey. As I remember it, his Cajun "act" was his most successful public speaking device. At any rate, in my heart, Justin Wilson could be whatever he wanted to be. One of his earliest comedy records about duck hunting was repeated endlessly by southern boys "from Canada to Mexico." Justin, refering to a double barrel shotgun, "Boudreau pick up his twice-barrel carbine and shot all dem ducks flying in a group all by dem selves."

Wow!

Only took 16 posts for someone to try to trash a dead man.

That may be the record.

Pathetic.
