Under the watchful eye of their leader, the grimly determined Bayouneers will attempt an evening of laughter and melody.

Dave Maleckar as "Pancheaux," Phil Melancon as "Roy Roget" himself


"Hallo, fellow troubadors. I come in peace."


"Figger we oughta string him up?" "Yep. Reckon so."


But Pancheaux wins their hearts with irresistible hat shtick.


And shoulder-to-shoulder, the Bayouneers, staunch and steadfast, soldier on.


Even gruff, hardbitten, trail-weary, dust-impregnated yet silver-throated Roy himself

is not immune to the musical charms of these hardy Bayouneers. "You guys are morons," he quips.
