I've been trying to play Reel de Joie on accordion, but it seems it might be more appropriate for fiddle. Does anyone know of an accordion video? I can't find one. I'd really appreciate some instruction on this tune. Thanks.
If you run into Jeff Broussard at Balfa camp, he has a killer version on accordion. I think I recorded it on tape years ago, but heaven knows where the recording is now.
You might want to check with Big Nick. I think he was there at the time and may have put in on Video.
Thanks for the inspiration, I've been giving it a go too. Grouyan Gumbo have another version of it up on youtube without fiddle- not quite as tidy though. I like the way they do the turn, finding it a tricky one to get.
