The Lake Charles/Southwest Louisiana Convention & Visitors Bureau embarked upon the task of showcasing not just "what" there is to experience in Southwest Louisiana, but really what it "feels" like to experience Southwest Louisiana through video. Listen to the original song from the homegrown artist Wendy Colonna, and delve into the vivid imagery, shot by Adam Boozer of Stowaway, that can only be found in Southwest Louisiana.

Sway to the music, Spanish moss is moving slow Come on, come on to my Southwest Louisiana home Come on, come on to my Southwest Louisiana home
