...come together in prayer." But he moved quickly to such topics as how to become a Republican committeeman and how to "blitz E-mail." Indeed, the group was nothing like the Coalition members uncharitably described by the Washington Post in February 1993 as "poor, uneducated and easy to command." Jessop, 54, is a senior project engineer at Eastman Kodak. His deputy Rahm Goswami, 44, is a research chemist with a Ph.D. A similar meeting a month earlier in Charleston, South Carolina, was attended by several lawyers and physicians -- all in business suits.

A long-time sideman for such musicians as John Hiatt and John Mayall, the Mississippi-born, Lafayette-bred Landreth also played with Chenier in his prime. His first major-label solo album, 1992's Outward Bound, displayed a brilliant command of styles, including Chet Atkins-style flat picking, Delta blues and slide guitar. His most recent album, South of I-10 (referring to the interstate that bisects Louisiana), is even better. Creole Angel, for example, features a Zydeco-like repeated riff that builds to an overpowering climax. Landreth's variety...
