Queen
Ida and her Zydeco Band
|
||
"Ida
Guillory did not even start playing professionally until she was well
into her 40s. Now, over 60, she puts on an energetic show that would bring
many a young rock hero staggering to his knees from exhaustion. By the
start of the second set, the audience had coalesced into a long conga
line. The captivating rhythm fused together a crowd made up of all sorts
of folks, from
toddlers to senior citizens. …. Oldsters forgot their aches and pains
to frolic on the dance floor with little kids up way past their bedtimes.
It didn't matter if you were too young, too old, too tired, too sad, too
sick, too worried or too inhibited. Queen Ida made you forget all your
cares and dance the night away." - Los Angeles Times "Two hours of sheer, guiltless pleasure. If Queen Ida can't move you, you can't be moved." - The Dallas Morning News "Queen Ida is truly amazing.. Her charismatic way of introducing her songs with a story about their inspiration or even a translation of the French words added a wonderful homespun dimension to her exuberatn performance. It was great to be able to dance and learn what "Hey, La Bas" means at the same time." - Bill Graham presents |
