Re: Tune of the Month for december

Peer

Re: i got my gift early.

Congrats!

Sounds like your on the right track.

Just follow your heart and keep squeezin'!

I had to comment; in a previous (very non-Cajun)
band that I was part of, I wrote and performed a
song named "Tug Boat Captain".

We even had stage-hands who operated wooden cut-out
"waves" while we performed the song!

(No kidding!)

Take care,

-Big Nick

Re: i got my gift early.

Big Nick, that is hilarious! I want me some cardboard cut-out waves!

But enough small talk - where's your Poullard Special . . .?

Re: i got my gift early.

that is funny, i can see the waves moving as you play.
my job is great i really love what i do, but it does keep me away from home.

Re: i got my gift early.

Hey, who built your boat? I used to build boats out of Quality Equipment, in Houma, La. That was 40 years ago though.

Re: i got my gift early.

Well i think it's rather small for that kind of trickery:

Re: i got my gift early.

Nout,

Use your powers for good.

Re: i got my gift early.

My boat was built at quality. It is fairly new. It was built in '96.

Re: i got my gift early.

I'll be ****ed. I worked there in 1972 and a little later.

Re: i got my gift early.

Use your powers for good, Nick!

Re: i got my gift early.

Greg, I highly recommend you get Big Nick's instructional DVD vol 1. It is very professionally done and easy to follow. I used it and it was money well spent. A good cajun tune to start with is the Wafus Two step. Big Nick also has a web site with free introductory lessons. There is a lot of good info here. Good luck and keep squeezin'.

Peer, that was an awesome rendition of Silent Night. I never thought of cajun style Christmas carols. I must try that one myself. Well done Sir and Merry Christmas to all.

Re: i got my gift early.

Thanks Dana. It just came into my mind that it should be possible to "cajunize" this song. I hope nobody took offense.
Merry Christmas to all!!
