Down Home Cajun Music- Ervin Lejeune

This episode is devoted to a overview of the recordings of Ervin Lejeune. By 1963, Ervin moved to Sulpher and met Jake Bertrand.
His first recordings were with Jake and the Calcasieu Cajuns in the late 1960's. By the early 1970's, he had some recordings with Goldband, 
recording as Iry Lejeune Jr (Eddie Shuler's idea). During this time, he recorded with Jake's son, Robert Bertrand. We round up this episode
