Did a short vid of Grand Marais Two Step with Boozoo's lyrics

Did this short vid on my G box of Grand Marais Two Step (pretty much Midland Two step) with Boozoo's lyrics as best as we could figure them out. Bryan and Mark gave me some help on translation. Bryan mentioned that it was hard to figure out the la la (creole) phrasing sometimes.

Love that tune/song...one of my favourites...and I'll bet you'd do an even better job of it with a backing track or band behind you.
A lot of Boozo material is timeless, as long as you can get that Zydeco Creole bluesy swing flavour to it in your playing.
BTW...I'll bet that low G box really gobbles up some air in those bellows. I opted for a Bb and that's quite enough pumping ,thank you very much. Next box for me would probably be a D....easier pump, bright notes, ..and as long as you can vocalise the D or A key then they're OK.
