Re: Port Arthur Blues on the accordion - Quick & 1st Trial

That's it! That's the tune alright

If I may comment, as you rehearse the tune, try to
hold your left-hand buttons longer. As Ray Abshire
told me: "Squeeze all the juice out of the notes."

That will make it sound more Cajun-ee and less polka-ee.

Great start!

There's an awesome version on the CD from Wade Fruge with Marc Savoy on the accordion.
