Dave Soileau

Today, we celebrate the Co-founder of Cajun Radio Dave Soileau. Today is Dave's Birthday and he would have turned "68" today. This morning, I am paying tribute to Dave, My dad, by playing his favorite music, telling stories, playing track of his voice that we have and even having special guests telling stories about him. Here is a little history about the man we honor today:

This Friday, August 29th from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on my show, we will pay tribute to the greatest man I ever new.

Cajun Radio is celebrating nine years of being on the air full time 24 hours a day playing Cajun, Swamp Pop and Zydeco music only. It was a dream of my dad Dave Soileau's and I to have a full time 24 hour a day Cajun Radio station and nine years ago it happened.  Here is a little history about Dad and I and the history of doing Cajun music on the radio which led up to Cajun Radio going on the air.

Cajun Radio was born on March 7th, 2005 with the vision of being the first all Cajun, Swamp pop and Zydeco radio station in southwest Louisiana. It had been the vision of Dave Soileau for years and in March of 2005 it came true. Dave, my dad, was a big supporter of Cajun music and loved promoting the culture, heritage and language. We lost Dave on September 21st, 2007 and I lost my best friend. Th

Today is a day to celebrate the most important person in your life, your mother.  Today is a day to reflect and show our appreciation to our mom's for all they do for us. I would like to wish my mom Kathy Soileau a very Happy Mother's day as she looks down on me from heaven today.

CajunRadio would not be what it is today without Dave Soileau's vision and passion for Cajun music. Unfortunately, we lost him in 2007 at the age of 61.  Today would have been Dave Soileau's 65th birthday, so we wanted to celebrate the life and contributions he gave to Cajun music and to his family.
