My last band featured a female vocal and a standard tuned fiddle.

The "D" accordion was perfect for that combo. The higher vocal
suited a female voice and the fiddle could drone along without
tuning down :-)

Songs in "D"? I'll need to think about that .. "Poppa George" by
Lafayette Rhythm Devils?

If your looking for a recording to play along with, the Octa Clark & Hector Duhon CD on Ahoolie Records is entirely done with a "D" accordion.

Check out some beautiful waltzes played on a D accordion from Jude Moreau's
CD "Retourner au Les Vieux Temps". Valse a Tolan is one of my favorites
and, like several of these tunes they don't sound right on a C accordion.

Thanks for the feedback.

Jimmy Breaux has a good number of tunes on his CD's that he played with a D. Most of the Savoy-Doucet cd's are predominately done with D accordions to suit Ann's voice.

Two of my all time favorites Eddie LeJeune (any album) and Horace Trahan (on the Ossun Blues album) do a bunch of songs in D. Also Geno Delafose does the Opelousas Waltz which is a great and simple waltz in D (the Amede Ardoin Opelousas Waltz, not the Austin Pitre Opelousas Waltz which is a completely different tune).
