Keith Frank is in the house–that’s what the members of his Soileau Zydeco Band sang while Keith Frank made his way to the stage after landing in a helicopter at the 1999 Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival. Actually, Frank was at the site earlier performing on the Heritage Stage, but his airborne arrival in the evening twilight electrified the large crowd.
