John, I thought this version was good! Curious about Nedro's comparison to your last version, I found the earlier version and compared. You've mostly ironed out the B part issues in this new version. In the November version, you consistently cut the B part short (at least according to the Midland I know). This version, you mostly play the B part at its full length. Nice work!
Thank Maureen, but I have to agree with Ned after listening. I don't think that the B-part that Wayne does doesn't mix too well with the more traditional B-part. It has a different, more upbeat feel especially after a couple rounds around with the more traditional B-part.
Not sure how to describe it since my knowledge if music theory is essentially zero.
I really need to work on Les Flammes d'Enfer, but I'm just really liking playing around with the Midland.
My players choice is Walker Special, recorded by Lawrence Walker, an innovator and one of my favorites. Recorded on L'anse Grise #27, which i just finished and am shipping off to it's new home in England today
Excellent work Bryan- on both counts. "l'anse Grise" must be becoming a household name this side of the pond by now!
Thats helpful cus Walker special is one I'm working at the moment too- along with Kaplan waltz and Iota 2 step after Wade put it up. Will have to get a new camera so I can carry on videoing. Bubba's Walker Special on youtube is well worth a look/listen.
It is 27. A shirt has to get pretty well ventilated to be relegated to the finishing pile. I have some t shirts over 20 years old.
Good catch on the Ramblers. Walker Special is usually played in 2 parts, and Andre Michot plays his B part different than any I'd heard, and I like it, so I made it a 3rd part.
Octa Clark did this song on the "Old Time Cajun Music". I sorted it out some time ago and have worked on it a lot. My Great-Aunt loves for me to play this one.
This link appeared after I listened to my recording. A hurdy gurdy and a melodeon. I'm guessing a Quebecois style?? This guys trills are just amazing!! Apparently this was recorded in 1923. Anyone have any information? I'm in awe.
