French tourists speak warmly of Louisiana Cajuns, but disparagingly
Quebecois.

How many "Quebecois" geaux and play music in Tampa?

That should spell "gaux" as in "ouais tout gaux".

Because "ge-" in french is pronounced "zh-", not "g-".
So "geaux" is "zhoh".

None that I know of, but Cajuns do, doo, dew, doux, due...
BTW Cajuns in Tampa area originated through Cedar Key, but it is hard,
if not impossible, to find Cajun roots there. But Cajuns in Tampa Bay
Area sort of vanished into the Old Tampa Bay culture. Often we go by
surnames to determine Cajun origin. But, as so often happens, origins
are lost. Sad. And it's confusing, too, because many families with
French surnames are descended from old Hugenot familes, or Acadaian
families who were debarked along the coasts of the Carolinas and
Georgia. These last, of course, are the exact same people, but the
Louisiana ties are not there.
