Paul,

Check out Tracy Schwartz's version on Flat Town music. You can download the single for a buck.

I'm gonna take a crack at this one too. Maybe we can compare notes.

OK, Paul, here's a video of my beginning efforts on this song. It's not suitable for prime time - it's just for concept and discussion.

Any contributions, suggestions, or shared licks would be appreciated.

I missed this topics... great post Nedro, I am completely agree with you.
As I said in an other topic, cajun melodies are not very difficult to get. We can confess honestly than, like other traditional musics I study, the melodies are very simple (due to the diatonic scale and because, at the origin, this kind of music were just done to make people dancing on it more than to listen to).
BUT, like other traditional music, all is about rhythm, variations and ornements, so TIPS and LICKS, and that the point!
I personally agree with you Nedro and I try to build me a bank of licks and tips that I can use in my whole repertoire.
But, like everybody, I learn cajun music alone in my part of the world, isolated from other braves, and I have already reach my limits in this way of learning...
So you proposition is great and I would like also to see that kind of discussion in this forum.
