Re: Walker Special

It is 27. A shirt has to get pretty well ventilated to be relegated to the finishing pile. I have some t shirts over 20 years old.

Good catch on the Ramblers. Walker Special is usually played in 2 parts, and Andre Michot plays his B part different than any I'd heard, and I like it, so I made it a 3rd part.

Re: Walker Special

Very nice Bryan. #27 sounds great as they all do.

I've liked the Walker Special from the first time I heard it.

Re: Walker Special

I love this and have never learned to play it. Thank you for the inspiration, Bryan. You play it beautifully.

Re: Walker Special

Great comments, Nedro! You had me at "talk dirty to me"; I laughed out loud

Players Choice - Polka a ma vielle tante

Octa Clark did this song on the "Old Time Cajun Music". I sorted it out some time ago and have worked on it a lot. My Great-Aunt loves for me to play this one.

Re: Players Choice - Polka a ma vielle tante

Wow, you nailed that one, John.

Re: Players Choice - Polka a ma vielle tante

Thanks Bryan. Do you or anyone know some history behind that song or the Cajun Polka in general?

I understand that that type of song was played a bit more in temps passe.

Re: Players Choice - something slightly different

This link appeared after I listened to my recording. A hurdy gurdy and a melodeon. I'm guessing a Quebecois style?? This guys trills are just amazing!! Apparently this was recorded in 1923. Anyone have any information? I'm in awe.
