Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Alright, Spring is here a month early,so I'm snowed under with work, and Balfa Camp is in one month, so no fancy 3rd position, minor key-change with a double back-flip songs this month, just a relatively simple tune that I was already working on, sort of:

The Creole Stomp

There are plenty of versions of this one running around. I'm working on one that may be the same tune, the "Washington Stomp", on Ray Abshire's "For Old Times Sake"; they sound alike, anyway; someone else will have to tell me for sure . . .

Good luck!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

The A part is quite different from the Creole Stomp and the B part is also different but I can hear some similarities to the Creole Stomp at a few places during the B part.

Chances are slim I'll post a video but I'd be happy to play the Creole Stomp for you to record at Balfa if you'd like.

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Well Jamey, I hardly played any Cajun music the last month or so. Neither do I know the Creole Stomp.
So: at work! If it wasn't for you, my CA would be gathering dust!!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Then I'm definitely doing the Lord's work, because your playing is an inspiration to us all!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Website link 1 is the Creole Stomp video.
Website link 2 is the Creole Stomp audio.

Enjoy!!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Anybody wanna follow that one!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Great playing there!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

ouhlala! pas mal Cameron!!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Wow Chris. You make it look so easy. Beautiful!

Cameron's was amazing, too.

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

I took a shot at it...

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

W W !!!!!!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

This is what seperates P R O F E S S I O N A L S from us want to beeeees Nice job by both
ps Chris was way over dressed that did not look Cajun

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Thanks, Peer, Jamey, and Randy--by the way--I thought the black and white with the tie was reminiscent of Aldus Roger! (I didn't dress that way just for the video--my work clothes!)--I enjoyed Cameron's version also--but where's everyone else's?

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

I'm afraid my version might take quite some time, as I'm not much into CA at the moment, and I had never heard the Creole Stomp. But I will keep lurking of course, and maybe I will give it a try later on.
Inspiration enough, thanks to Cameron & Chris!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Might take me a while, too, Chris. I thought I was going to have it easy since I was already working on the "Washington Stomp". Turns out they're not the same - rats! I've got your version to go by now, so at least I have a great place to start.

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

I hope to post a version too ..

When I get a round tuit

Maybe later this week. I have to remember how to play
it .. it's been a while!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Here's my version, I've never done this before, lets
see how it works!

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

John,

When I checked, it said that it was still processing ..

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Thanks Nick:

Let me try again

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

I haven't done this in a while but I'll try. No, I'm not playing a left handed accordion, my Mac Photo Booth shoots it this way. Anyway, I do a different turn from most versions. Hope you like it.

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

I do!
Nice dynamics and emphasis on second beat.
I'd say, dancers would love this style of playing.

Re: Song of the Month: Creole Stomp

Very nice version Mr Jude
