A while back I got attacked by Jim Pettijohn for giving Bubba Hebert some constructive criticism on play a song that was posted on youtube. I contacted Bubba and made sure he understood my comments. He was most gracious and appreciative of my in put. Anyway Jim, the hypocrite made the comment that I couldn't play worth a **** or something to that effect. Well I remember when ole Jim and I were "buddies" that was before he fell in love with Hussein.
The reason for this post is so you can watch it and read the comments of how he couldn't have learned the Mamou Two Step without my help. Can you imagine that.
Jerry Moody
Just type "Jerry Moody Mamou two step" into the You Tube browser and everyone can see videos of both Jerry and Jim doing the Mamou two step.
Both of 'em play it much better than me, which is a pretty easy thing to do.
Weird, you don't hear that piece played by a lot of dance bands.
To me it's always been kind of a show-off number for the extra-nimble- fingered guys.
Following the link got me some unrelated whatever on You Tube.
Something like 4,000 human beings died in the Philippines this past week, their dogs, their chickens, kids, grandmothers, homes and lives destroyed and you are worried about this stuff??? Man, give it a rest or mark yourself down as one sad-sack excuse of a man...
Moodswing- Actually, sir, you are incorrect. I do NOT support Obama, or the left whatsoever. I also don't have the urge to be friends with a hardcore right wing nutjob.
Go take your frustrations out at the local town hall. I'm done with you.
Stupid me. I thought this forum was for fostering the appreciation of Cajun/creole/Zydeco accordion playing and a sharing of the love for this music. I love cajun music. That's why I'm here - to have you more experienced guys pull me along in the learning process. Let's try to be more positive, encouraging and realize that not everyone will dig the other guy's style. It's ok. It's not a contest.
Tim, I agree with you.
It's not necessary to have the same opinion about things to talk/discuss about playing an accordion.
As I write before "bury the hatchet" and show some respect to another. Please!
It 's possible to have friends who are from another political planet
