Yeah, I like ol Ambrose. He's spry. I did sit and study on C Millers video after you posted it. It sounds like he derived his version from Aldus Roger or Aldus and his band and not Clifton Chenier. I was just speculating earlier when I said that. Chris' video will give those who dare to copy his version a whole lot of much needed confidence in accordion playing. Zydeco son pas sale' should be one of the first "show off" songs a beginner should wrastle with. He'll either love it or hate its guts. I was once a hater of the song because I had no idea what they were doing to play it, and I became uninterested to even give it a try. Ambrose brought me back! The announcer on the Ambrose video mentioned Clifton "dug up" this "old Cajun" song (les haricots). So I'm assuming the song was around long before Clifton Chenier bought it back? Crazy to think that the accordion players before Aldus and Ambrose were playing Zydeco sont pas sale'. It's hard to imagine. Maybe someone knows more.
Robert Jardell and Dewey Balfa do a good one which is on Youtube but labelled Bosco Stomp- worth checking out.
This tune makes me regret having the slides removed from my soon to be modded Harmona, but at least it'll be a loud mona hey Bryan!
