I have to add another accordion titan to my pantheon of idols: Our own Jon Melancon! Check this bad boy out as he tears up the Bosco Stomp. About TIME we got a video of you Jon! Man, you have really moved up in the world - now it's time to start touring . . .

Y'all enjoy.

Where are y'all playing?

Hate to hijack my own thread, but Christian: any chance of you turning up on Balfa weekend (or any other time during Balfa)?

Superstar Jon Melancon will be there . . .

Jamey, you are a trip man! Thank you so much for the kind words, that really brings a smile to my face. I've still got a long way to go but I keep practicing, improving, and I'm enjoying myself more than ever.

The house is owned by Michael Doucet but is being rented out by Alan LeFleur. Alan and some of his friends had a boucherie this past Saturday. The house is in Lafayette.

By the way, I'm told that this was the same house pictured on the album cover of Octa Clark and Hector Duhon "Old Time Cajun Music", and the place where the album was recorded. A lot of legends have played on this very same porch and it was really something to soak that all in.

I might be wondering around during balfa Jamey. Ill be sure and find ya if I do! Jon, glad you got to have that experience! Always brings a smile to my face hearing you play.

If I could spend a week with Jon,I could get some where with the accordion.Great stuff

Great rhythm section helpin' 'em keep the beat.
Love that left-handed guitar!

Dang Jon that's some hard hittin play brother!

Thanks Jim!

Yep! That's what makes all the difference, when you have a good rhythm section holding it all together.

Thanks man! I feel the same about you your playing too.

Nice playing Jon. Hey, are you the guy who just recently commented on that YouTube video by the Crawdad Wranglers, where I commented that he was not playing a cajun accordion, that he was playing a piano accordion?

Yeah, that was me.
