January 29, 2013 Zydeco music has come a long way in the last century, and who knows where it will go in the next 100 years. But one thing will always remain the same, according to Grammy winner Chubby Carrier -- if you want to make a mark on music, you can't copy other people. You have to remain true to yourself.
