> We have a lot of great music. Most of it free. An augmented version of Sac 
> à Pulses usually opens the festival (this year the 12th) with a parade. 
> This year, we are happy to have with us Michel "Boss" Quéraud on trumpet, 
> Francis Guéro on trombone and Morre Van Eyck on percussion.
>
> Away from the parade, we are the house band of sorts and we often feature 
> a guest musician. This year, it is the phenomenal Daniel Huck. Last year, 
> we had the phenomenal Allan Vaché. Other Americans that have played in the 
> past include Eddie Erickson, Dan Levinson, Joe Muranyi, Jimmy Mazzy, Eli 
> Newbereger, the Reynolds Brothers, Sue Kroninger, Randy Morris, Corey 
> Gemme and Paul Scavarda.

> Lillian Boutté will also be returning this year with the Gigolos, a Louis 
> Prima style band.

> Most music is in the evening leaving the daytime for touristy stuff. Or, 
> you can ski here. This is a good ski year; the slopes are well covered. A 
> lot better than last year.

> Let me know if you would like for info.
