Re: " Two-Step d'Amédé" and "Amédé Two-Step" are two different songs!
I'm not sure if Marc got the idea for his Amedee 2 step from Amedee's song titled "Two-Step d'Amede? LOL, I know Marc made his version before youtube was born. I know Marc had a good bit of access to old recordings via Ann and his music store. The part that is similiar in both songs is the very beginning. Maybe he started out copying, then gave up and changed it. Don't know and don't want to argue. Marc's Amedee 2 step is a great tribute to Amedee though, can't argue with that. He often times comes up with songs and attributes them to personal friends and fellow musicians. My deceased mentor was afforded such a tribute by Mr Marc.

I heard an unconfirmed report that Marc titled his Amede Two Step as a tribute to one of his mentors, and not a relation to the one on Amede's recordings. I kinda doubt Amede called his song "Amede Two Step", anyway.

Now why i like trad Cajun music as well as Old time country tunes is the sheer variations of the "same" ole tune by different musicians. Fiddlers do a lot better at that me thinks. Sometimes you'll need to get to know a tune real well to realize it's uncle lives only two doors away. Example: i always liked an old soulful Leo Soileau song "Valse de Gueydan" years ago, and when i played the old LP recently i realised it was almost Jolie Blonde, call me stupid LOL - PS done this studio messing up 2 trad Cajun tunes with added new lyrics a while ago my self, sorry guys:
