Chenier put the piano accordion, a rubboard vest his brother wore, and Texas blues together into something that could hold a dance hall against a rock band. The name comes from the phrase les haricots sont pas salés, the snap beans aren't salted, meaning times are too hard to afford meat, worn down in speech to zydeco.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
