Message:   Hello Braves!

I've been working on both accordion & fiddle parts for
"Valse Des Vachers" as of late.

I've been using the first Mamou Playboys CD to model
the accordion part.

But, I've found what I perceive to be a dang near
lovely little fiddle variation that is penned in the
"Ye Yaille Chere" book.

For those that have the text, it's on page 304
specifically the last 25 bars or so.

It's really haunting, but the Playboys don't use that
arrangement for fiddle.

Is anybody familair with the tune and where I might
locate a recording of this "alternate" fiddle
arrangement?

Merci Beaucoup once again!

--Big
