Re: Born In The Country; Lyrics request and general help

J'aime la campagne
A la place de mon grand père
Et quand pour rester
Pour la balance de ma vie
Juste mon chien mes chats
Mon gumbo et mon piment
C'est un homme créole
Ma vie créole

Re: Born In The Country; Lyrics request and general help

The song is generally played in the first position (C) to get the right feel, but I know some who play it in second positiom (G). In the video, I am playing a G accordion, so first position is in G.

Roger and Buffy, Cleoma's Ghost, asked me to play accordion on a couple of songs on their CD, and this was one of them. They had recorded it in G and sent the track to me. I wanted to play it with the right feel, so I borrowed the accordion.

Thanks Ganey, I have found your video very helpful. Thats a nice bright accordion you borrowed, a converted Hohner as you mention.
