Does any body have the Joe Hall Instructional DVD for creole accordion?? I noticed that one of the songs he teaches is dixieland. Is it Fido Dixieland or the actual southern anthem? Ive been trying to figure Dixie on the accordion and would like to see his take.

I have his DVD. He does the same version of Dixieland that he plays on his "Live at Nunu's" album. He says it's the version he learned from Canray Fontenot.

Hope that helps.

Thanks! Anywhere I can purchase this album or track?

It's available at link #1, Fruge Records.

Jude, how is that DVD? IIs it recent or an older one? Can you give me an idea of what's on it? I have never heard of it.

It's relatively recent (2010). There's not a lot of conversation or tips. Joe just takes you through the songs at regular speed and slowed down. He does Johnny Can't Dance, Dixieland, Valse de Criminelle, Kaplan Waltz, Thirty Dobb Special, and La Cucaracha.

The approach is a watch-and-repeat one. So, I guess you'd have to say it's an intermediate/advanced DVD.

The versions of the songs are like those on his CDs. So, if you like what he does on his CDs and you're partial to a more creole style of play, it's for you.
