I just chatted with a young Cajun woman, that happens to be living over in Russia right now.  I was doing a little chatting with Deb, my usual dance partner online while listening to KRVS in Lafayette, Louisiana.  KRVS.org is the University radio station that has a Saturday Morning program called "Zydeco Eh Pas Sale" all about Creole zydeco, music and dance.  I checked on my Myspace stuff, and decided to post an invite to chat this morning.  Sarah Savoy (yes, from the famed Mark & Ann Savoy family) happened to be online, and stopped by to chat.  The wild part was that she was nearing the end of her day, since she's living in Moscow Russia.  She has a Myspace site for her band "Sarah Savoy & the Francadians" check it out.  All of her bandmates happen to be French, so she travels to Paris in order to hook up with them.

Sarah was a delight to chat with.  I think it is so awesome to be able to chat, and get to know people from around the globe.  And the extra kick, is that sometimes it's with people that are from one's own backyard, or community.  Don't get me wrong, in this case, the only connection I have with Sarah Savoy is the knowledge, interest, pleasure, and passion for the music from Louisiana.  I've never met Sarah, but I'd certainly would like to, as well as the rest of her family and friends.  I'd like to keep in touch, if nothing more than to have the fun of chatting across the globe.  But, more than that, Sarah is very sweet.  Whoever is in the chatroom from anywhere in the world, can type something, and bam, there it is, for someone else to read. Wild, simply wild.  The internet certainly can be put to good use.  It's all about choice.  Let's give the good choices all sorts of good attention.

Thanks for chatting this morning, Deb Clark, Al Berard, and Sarah Savoy.  I had fun.
