Today's nice random tune is a waltz by Wayne Toups and Zydecajun. Songwriter and accordionist Wayne Toups is a well-known Cajun musician from Crowley, Louisiana. He started playing accordion at 13 and soon was winning local contests. He later began to combine Cajun music, zydeco, R&B and rock into a genre he labeled Zydecajun. Though he released his first album in the 1970s, his first album with the Zydecajun sound was 1986's Zydecajun. Besides releasing 16 albums and providing soundtracks for movies such as Steel Magnolias, Toups has also collaborated with such artists as Mark Chestnutt, Sammy Kershaw, Alan Jackson, George Jones and Garth Brooks.
