Jude called yesterday (so good to hear his voice!) so thought I would pass on what I have learned. He is back at his home, trying to do clean-up, although services in Groves are not restored. In Beaumont, on the other hand, services are back, and Ed has been back h...

Well...me and the dogs have returned home. I made a trip home about a week ago to assess the damage, then returned to safety. Tomorrow, the mandatory evacuation will be lifted and resident will be allowed to return to Lake Charles and greater Calcasieu Parish. My...

Hey Man, Seems like I haven't seen any posts from you in a while. Everyting OK? Tee

There are two interesting boxes on EBay. An old Marc Savoy key of D I think and a Donald Thibodeaux. I wasn't familiar with the latter. Does anyone know about these boxes in terms of quality/pricing etc? There's also a King of Cajun (Gabbanelli) key of C with an int...

Some time ago, lyrics for "ti-galop pour la pointe aux pins" were posted, but there was a sentence missing from Adam Hébert version. I remember discussing with Christian at the time, with no success. Yesterday I heard a track of that song on KRVS and finally...

I live in England and have a John Hebert accordion. I haven't played it in a while, but suddenly I have a gig next month. When I played it one of the copper wires holding a valve broke off. I bought some wire when I was in Lafayette, but I'm not sure of how to get th...

Hi ya all I have been playin now about 4 years now. I can usually figure out a given "A" part in time. The problem is learning a "B" part that sounds "Cajun". I sense that there are some rifs that are simular in a lot of "B" parts that inhance the Cajun sound...

I don't find "High Point Two-Step" in either Ann Savoy's "Cajun Music: A Reflection..." or in Raymond Francois' "Ye Yaille, Chere!". Does anyone know if this song is in either of these books under a different title? What I really want is a version of the Cajun...

Many thanks to everyone who called and emailed. My family and I are safe in Monroe, LA. Everybody's house was spared with the exception of my sister. Her home suffered some damage to a brick wall. My uncle who lived in Cameron made it safely to Elton where he is c...

I've only heard a few tunes with Lawrence Walker playing on them and really liked what I heard. Does he have any CD's out there? Anyone have any favorites? Thanks.

Hi ya'll, what recording can I find the "ossun two step" on? thanks kjones

Chris, If you are checking the board, shoot me an email.

It would be nice to hear if they are OK. thanks.

Looking for someone to post the lyrics to the Broken Family Waltz. It's on Jimmy Breaux's second CD and Kevin Naquin's "Pour le premiere fois." I didn't see it in the books by Ann Savoy or Raymond Francois.

I don't even know if this is a good place to pose this question but I will and you can let me know. I saw an ad for a Cajun accordion named Cobalt River. It was very cheap and since I haven't learned to play one yet, I was wondering if anyone knows about this parti...
