      On a search for recordings from an old Cajun singer, Gérard Dôle encountered guitarist Richard Fontenont on a proverbial dark and stormy night. Fontenont and his family took him in, told him stories, and later, Dôle recorded the material for this album, which presents Richard’s delightful fingerstyle guitar.
