Name that tune

When Kevin Wimmer pulled out a 3 row accordion and started jamming, I recorded this tune (about 10 years ago). Never listened to it until now. The melody is real familiar (an old blues or pop tune?) but I can't place it. Listen to the tune at Link #2. Any help?

Re: Name that tune

Dear Dr,

Sounds to me like a Preston Frank tune called "Vermille". Its on Keith Frank live at Slim's Yi Ki Ki.

Re: Name that tune

Ade, thanks for your reply. I have the CD "Live at Slims" and
after listening to Maymel, I knew you were right! A different key, but definitely the right tune. Thanks!

Re: Name that tune

Yep, that's "Maymel".

One of my all time favorite zydeco tunes!
