I GUAR-RON-TEE
Justin Wilson didn’t set out to make his mark in public life as a comedian. In fact, he refers to himself as a “humorist.” Being a comedian is just a way to make a living. Being a humorist is a lifestyle. It’s true; Justin can find something funny in just about anything.Justin grew up in bayou country the son of the state of Louisiana’s Commissioner of Agriculture. His blood-line ran deep into the bayou — almost as deep as his love for his family, friends and neighbors — his fellow Cajuns.His job as an itinerant safety engineer put wheels on a wagon that took this storyteller and his tales throughout the parishes. Eventually, Justin began telling his stories to larger audiences. He even recorded some of his work. It is reported that his first project sold over a million copies!In the late 1970’s, during a revitalization of the famous Louisiana Hayride radio show, Justin Wilson made a few stops in Shreveport to talk to his countless friends and neighbors, old and new. Several hundred enjoyed the live experience as thousands of others listened in through the broadcast capabilities of KWKH.  A storyteller is who Justin Wilson is. Over the years, that fact has kept him busy as a book writer, human relations instructor, after-dinner speaker and TV chef.  The ten stories on this project were captured live from the stage of the Louisiana Hayride during the Fall and Winter of 1977-78. After listening to these classic bits you will see why Justin Wilson is the King of Cajun Comedy — I Guar-ron-tee’!
