For a special Christmas Eve edition of The View From The Cab, our omnipresent road warrior, Dave Carter, contacted his friend and occasional Ricochet Contributor, Alphonse Fontenot, for a unique version of a Christmas classic. So gather the children around, and try not to drink anything until the podcast comes to a complete stop.

Ca C'est Bon. Thanks Alphonse you old coon ass(should not be a CoC issue as that is a term of affection in La). Your accent sounds Lafayette or Opelousas maybe, one of the happiest years of my life was spent in Cajun country. Nicest people in the world.

Fontenot for president. He'll lock up that all-important Cajun vote.

Merry Christmas to all. As I wrap the last couple of things (read; last chance to play with), I second Basil; more info on the Zydeco JTTW tune would be welcome!

Thanks, Yeti. Just downloaded it. Merry Christmas! (In the spirit of capitalism, it's $2.99 cheaper over at Amazon. That's almost enough to get you a grande latte at Starbucks.)

I am thinking Ricochet just boosted Jo-El's Christmas sales beyond expectations.
I just had to have that Joy To the World Yeti put on that podcast
