Re: Song of the Month for February 2015 - Les Flammes d'Enfer

This is one my favorite version of Les Flammes, it is Hadley Fontenot playing with the Balfa's in NYC. #2

THen here is one I recorded of one of Hadley's proteges, Cory McCauley, which may be my favorite version of any, I just hate I missed the first part, I had recorded the whole show and thought they were done, then they started this.

Here is my try for SOTM, Les Flammes D’Enfer. As rough as it is now, it was even rougher before. The web address below should bring it up.

Don, kudos for breaking the ice. I'm close, but still a little timid! This is one of those "easy" songs that for various reasons can be difficult, as evidenced by the lack of participation by the group.

Your B part is much better than the A. Don't be afraid to back up and attack your weakest point and beat it into submission. There is no greater satisfaction than having slain the dragon after a significant investment of time and effort in the victory.

Good goin', and keep on chuggin'.

Thank you for the encouragement Ned. I too was timid but figured it was OK to put it out there. The good constructive words from others with the same experiences is always helpful. Much appreciated.

Pretty gutsy playing a whole show one-legged at the Red Dragon Listening Room, Baton Rouge -- and doing it well to boot!
