About this episode

Deep in the Louisiana bayou lives a mysterious fisherwoman named Mama Coon-Coon, famous for her seafood gumbo and infamous for her terrible singing. Unlike the other fishermen, she uses her big blue dress as bait to catch crabs late at night. But what happens when the crabs get tired of her off-key tunes? Discover why the bayou waters turned blue in this whimsical Louisiana swamp folktale, narrated by Veronica Byrd and Bert Tanner.
