Born on a houseboat tied to a cypress tree in the swamps of Southwest Louisiana, his family followed the fishing up and down the Mermantau River. Alligators and snakes lurked beneath the waters. Alcoholism and violence lurked above. The fais do-dos, those popular houseboat dances, were the only escape from a harsh way of life. Until the Kershaws were forced to move into town following a family tragedy, Kershaw spoke only Cajun-French. He got his first pair of shoes when he was eight years old, the same year he began supporting his mother by playing fiddle and shining shoes. Throughout his career, he has mastered twenty-eight instruments. Because of his signature style of music-making and entertaining, Kershaw is considered by many to be a consummate performer and storyteller"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 2 $a Life on the bayou -- Leaving home -- The Ragin' Cajun -- The return. 504 $a Includes discography (pages 324-337) and index. 600 10 $a Kershaw, Doug. 600 17 $a Kershaw, Doug. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01504207 650 0 $a Fiddlers $z Louisiana $v Biography. 650 0 $a Musicians $z Louisiana $v Biography. 650 0 $a Cajuns $v Biography. 650 7 $a Cajuns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00843941 650 7 $a Fiddlers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923794 650 7 $a Musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030837 651 7 $a Louisiana. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207035 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Pelletier, Cathie, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200204024932.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DEC7AF00471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
