C'est bon, WF! Merci beaucoup!

For anyone interested in putting together a classic Cajun band -- there's your setlist!

Re: Poll Closed: Results

Good job WF, those polls were fun!! Feel pretty good;
all 5 of my accordion players got in the top five (including
the ties) and hit 6 out of the 8 top songs! Would've done
better on the songs if I hadn't put in the only two I
know how to play...lol

Re: Re: Poll Closed: Results

any chance of doing a zydeco song poll ?? ( along with favorite key to play it in )

G.

Re: Poll Closed: Results

Nice poll WF, my favorite version of the Eunice Two Step is by Maurice Barzas.

Re: Poll Closed: Results

Thanks WF!

I think I am going to compile a few discs with these tunes in this order.

That should keep me busy through the hoidays.

Then maybe take it TIME LIFE and do a 30 minute cable TV admercial for a subscription based Cajun disc collection.

4 discs, $39.95 each--free shipping

but wait,

ther's more....

Order today and we will send the top zydeco tunes at no extra charge!

And for the first 500 that order today we will include a genuine 45 record insert used in a real Louisiana bar when the 'Back Door' was a juke box hit!

Maybe...

peace,
Griff

Re: Poll Closed: Results

Thanks for the poll. I just printed out the list. Great reference for songs to learn.

Re: Poll Closed: Results

Lots of Waltzes included but, interestingly, many of the Two-Steps seem to have risen to the top in popularity...

Re: Re: Poll Closed: Results

That's right, Dale. I had 7 two steps or faster ones on my list of 10, 8 out of 11!
