Re: Hackberry Hop/Les Huppes Taiauts/Il a vole mon traineau

Thanks Robert!

Here is a link to the Balfa Brothers doing Hackberry Hop.

http://npmusic.org/Balfa_Brothers_Hackberry_Hop.mp3

It is related to Enterre Moi Pas and the Devillier Two Step (Dennis McGee mentions Frère Devillier on one of the field recordings he did. I think it was Smithsonian Folkways. Maybe he played with him at some point. Frère Devillier was Jerry Devillier's father.)

Re: Hackberry Hop/Les Huppes Taiauts/Il a vole mon traineau

I have one of the LP's from five with the Hackberry Hop as first somg on side B. It was an LP from Arhoolie number 19030.

Re: Hackberry Hop/Les Huppes Taiauts/Il a vole mon traineau

Yes, for me it was Leo Soileau doing Hackberry Hop on Louisiana Cajun Music: The String Bands of the 1930s, LPOT110

See this quote from my web site:
"Ever since the 1970s I was aware of recorded Cajun and Creole music from the 1920s and 30s through an outstanding series of lps (long-playing records) on the market by the Arhoolie Records label. I will always be grateful to producer Chris Strachwitz for making that music available! It's as if it's in my DNA now! Some of these remarkable lps are still available from the Arhoolie Web site, with these titles: Louisiana Cajun Music Volume 1, First Recordings (OT108); Louisiana Cajun Music Volume 2, The Early 30s (OT109); Louisiana Cajun Music Volume 3, The String Bands of the 1930s (OT110); Louisiana Cajun Music Volume 4, The 30s to the 50s (OT111); Louisiana Cajun Music Volume 5, 1928-1938 (OT114); Amade Ardoin, His Original Recordings 1928-1934 Volume 6 (OT124); Leo Soileau, Louisiana Cajun Music Volume 7 (OT125)."

Re: Hackberry Hop/Les Huppes Taiauts/Il a vole mon traineau

Yeah, the only time I have heard this tune called Hackberry Hop is by Leo Soileau's Three Aces, and I bet it's the record company that labeled it wrong! The town of Hackberry is never mentioned in Soileau's recording.
