Wow, really love that old-time sound and playing style .... time for a CD, Jim? - Nout

Don't get me wrong Jim: I love your playing, and I always did.
Sounds great, but I don't hear Amadie Two Step here, but something different.
Or is it just me?
Right now I'm having some trouble with my hearing (or ear-ring, or tinnitus, or call it anything you like) - I don't even dare to pick up my CA - so I might be wrong. And I would love to contribute to this tune of the month, but I can't. With every note I play it gets worse. Hopefully later!

Peer,

We're both **** near deaf, and Jim's playing it on a dog whistle. We'll just have to take his word for it!

I have to agree, that when compared to Jim's Choupique from a couple of years back, they sound much different, even though they're virtually the same tune.

But Cajun is free-form, so it fits the moment better than the mold.

Yes, Jim's Choupique (2010) sounds more like the original Amadie 2step to me. Even when he puts a minor chord in the guitar backing. I'm sure they both have exactly the same melody line, and it's just the title that is different.

This is a version I tried to emulate like Amede's "Amede two-step". It's sort of closer to what he's doing than the choupique I made a few years ago. I don't alternate my index/pinky on octaves like Amede. That is a big part of his style. Ican't play like him, nor would I want to attempt to. But, it's closer than Choupique is.

On the new vid I do go to the note that would merit the minor chord key change (only with a guitar player, playing along, would it stand out), but with no guitar, it won't sound the same.

Since I'm playing it on an F accordion, it will be confusing to some. But, the notes I'm playing are (while in another key), closer to the melody line that Amede is playing, than with the Choupique twostep...

Interesting - and ****ed good!

Well done Jim! I love your playing man!

Jimbo as always you can rock that mfer!!!!!!!! You are one of the best keep it going
