Finding Joy: Playing after 70 is no problem for Cajun Queen musicians — they still got it! Many of the rotating musicians at Cajun Queen in the historic Elizabeth neighborhood have played there since the restaurant opened in 1985. Most are in their late 70s, but they have no problem mesmerizing diners with classic jazz tunes seven nights a week.
