Down Home Cajun Music- J.B. Fuselier

J.B. Fuselier was a popular Cajun fiddler during the 1930's and 1940's. He first started recording with Beethoven Miller's group, Miller's Merrymakers and soon was leading the band under his name. Even during this time, J.B. would bring his accordion to dances and play it. He is credited by many musicians to bringing the accordion back in style.  After WWII, Fuselier joined with Iry LeJeune and the two ruled the dance hall circuit until 1955 when LeJeune was killed and Fuselier severely injured when hit by a car. Despite his injuries, Fuselier never stopped playing and recorded a number of sides for Goldband in the 1960s.
