Re: May 2015 Song of the Month - Eunice Waltz

John thats reminded me to get on with making some spruce beer.

Re: May 2015 Song of the Month - Eunice Waltz

But first you should post the Eunice Waltz.

BTW... I did post the Eunice 2-Step.

Merci beaucoup!

Re: May 2015 Song of the Month - Eunice Waltz

Wow!! What a new dimension. It is really quite difficult to play along for me. I've never had accompaniment. Thanks for taking the time and posting this.

At second sight, listening to these backing tracks
I found piano to be too much intrusive,
Rythm needs to be more evident for practice purpose,
Would it be better without piano next time ?
what do you think ?

PS : and of course, piano is not very accurate
for Cajun traditionnal music

Re: May 2015 Song of the Month - Eunice Waltz

Christophe,

I agree that the rhythm could be more prominent, but the soft piano provides a helpful point of reference for the wandering minstrel. :-)

You could probably bundle a few of these for sale.

Thanks again.

Re: May 2015 Song of the Month - Eunice Waltz

For some really good backing tracks I'd recommend PracTracks by Tracy Schwarz. It's fairly old and I believe only on cassette tape, but it's worth having. I'm using it with a student of mine who learns alone and doesn't have good rhythm accompaniment (except when he comes to the house and I play guitar).

BTW, Tracy's tape doesn't have the Eunice Waltz, but it has several other traditional songs that you'll find played at jams.

I have converted Tracys tracks to digital. If he were to give permission, I would share them.

You left out this little gem. My cousin Jason Babineaux and my buddy Christian Lejeune playing in my parents back yard with "The Voice", defunt Bernie David singing.
