Ah, the vagaries of cajun music. By comparison with other renditions whatever you are playing is more the Stomp than the Step. (Check Louis Cromier on Youtube). But then again, who's to say?

Creole Stomp and the Duson are quite similar. In fact, if you google Marc Savoy doing a bookstore concert in Florida (I think), the song is listed as the Duson and I think it's the Creole Stomp.

Oops, I hadn't checked Big's post. He agreed, before I posted. That Biggie is a real smart fella.

Thanks Jamie. I keep looking and looking at the recording of La Valse Evangeline you did for me. I like your take on it. Hopefully soon I'll be ready to put something up.

Man.. none of this comes easy for me, but when it hits - oh mais, it is good.

The secret is to stick with it - which I think you've already figured out; the "aha" moments will get more frequent. It just takes time and persistence.

And you're gonna get it. I can tell. You got the fire.

Did i miss your version, Jamey?

Can't find my stupid camera/computer cable, and have been too busy to do the excavation necessary to find it.

Just listen to Horace Trahan's version - mine sounds just like it.

Did he learn it from you?!

Ah, Charlie, thanks for the laugh - I needed that!

me too!

Thanks, Big. You've rekindled my enthusiasm for that tune. The version I like is Joe Falcon around 1963 with his missus on drums.
Yours is about as close as I've heard.
