Farewell to Floyd's Record Shop

Sad to learn that Floyd's Record Shop in Ville Platte, Louisiana, is closing its doors. I've been there a few times and have enjoyed going through the records on display, and having a Cajun meal at the Pig Stand nearby.
Floyd Soileau is one of the great American record producers, having made hundreds of Cajun and Swamp Pop classics over the years, issuing them on his Swallow, Jin and Maison De Soul labels and also running a record pressing plant. His record store opened in 1956 and its closure is sadly a sign of the times.
My photo shows some of the South Louisiana records that came out on Floyd's labels, plus a couple of highly collectable LPs on other Louisiana labels. Details below.
