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.

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.
