"Gerard Dole is a pioneer in the love and appreciation of Cajun music.
Since 1969 his tireless documentation of the Cajun culture,
his generosity in sharing his knowledge
and his large body of personal recordings of rare Cajun songs
make him a source of endless wonder to colleagues and friends alike.
Add to this deep knowledge a wild sense of humor,
a true bohemian spirit and a bottomless well of ideas
and you have our good friend of many years."
