Ron here will be comin all the way from Buffalo, NY. I'm gonna help set up Thursday and will be there all week. I'm gonna stick around for a few day after and try to hang with some friends in Lafayette. Does any one have a decent C accordion for sale/ trade. I reaaly cant go any higher than 1,500 right now. I have some nice Piano accordions if anyone is interested. I can't wait to immerse myself in the music and the culture, and that beautiful park. Should I bring my fishing gear, will I have time? I'm planning on bringing way too many instruments already. 2 one rows, a three row, my big piano accordion, viola, guitar. I don't know? See my decent one row is in Bb, the other one is a Chinese POS in C( which all of the classes are gonna be in)! I know I can transfer the knowledge and licks easy enough, it will suck to have to play on that Chinese one though.
I can't wait to get the feelin and keep it goin all week. I truly am blessed to be able devote a full 7 days to my music and I want to get the most out of it. Could we start an ultimate Cajun playlist in this thread too, everybody submit a few of their faves, must know tunes?
Hey Jamie: I will be there with my wife Karen. I think I count about
7 other folks from the Seattle contingent. Looking forward to
wine tasting and jamming on the dock!
I'm booking a campsite for the week, will attend as much of the official activities as I can afford. Looking forward to a meeting of the L'Anse Grise Owners Club and Gathering of Bryan's Babies, with proud Dad in attendance.
Jamie, would you designate and host a time and place for an initial gathering of the Braves family over the weekend?
Glad to hear about all the Braves coming; hope Maz falls off on the right side of the fence he's presently sitting on; and sorry to hear Mark's not coming - bummer!
I think you've had an excellent idea, Chuck! Let's all get together at a particular time and place on Saturday. Let me think about it a bit first, but my first thought is to get together whenever the zydeco band is playing . . .

Cory Ledet's a great guy and a genius musician, but when he starts, lets all us Braves meet at the other end of the parking lot, in the middle, right across the road from the jam tent; that way we won't disturb the jammers, if there are any, and if there are not, we can saunter across the road and commandeer the jam tent!
I dunno. Corey's a GREAT player, but I don't remember him being particularly loud when I've seen him. But I don't tend to go hear zydeco very much.
Hey Ron, e-mail me @ thehappyhalls@sbcglobal.net If you're still looking, I have an accordion I might sell, and I'm interested in what kind of keyboard accordions you have . . .
