Oh, help!

I've been struggling horribly these past few weeks with an assignment I've set myself. I know that writing in dialect either turns out great or utterly horrible (usually the latter), but I've been trying to write a Louisianian (?) accent. The problem is, I don't know what it sounds like (apart from Hollywood's interpretation, and we all know how accurate Hollywood tends to be)! It feels like I've looked everywhere online (though I know I haven't), and can't find a real Louisiana accent clip. I don't even know if the Cajun accent extends throughout the whole state or not. Short of just dialing a random number in the Louisiana area code and hoping someone picks up, I don't know what to do. So please, if you've got tips, or even better, links, please let me know! Thanks.
