I wanted to post this link when Kevin uploaded the Hank Williams song Jambalaya. It's a little video of how a pirogue is made. You know . . . . "Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou".

How to make a pirogue

If you don't have the 15 minutes to spare to watch this, there is a much shorter version on YouTube , but it loses all the charm.

I'm sure that a bit of this movie short is staged, but it's probably very close to authentic. If you have some time to spare, there are a lot of interesting videos tied to music and other aspects of everyday life at the folkstreams.net site.
