As the rain continues here in Texas, flooding the low areas while drenching the high ground, I found refuge at my Cabin, Le Maison Rouge. Here is the product of my rainy day, "Two Steps from the Outhouse."

Mr Ned, your enthusiasm and dedication plainly shine through the obstacles to your musical fulfillment. Nonetheless, I recommend you keep the wife. In the fullness of time I sense a reconciliation and your glorious return to the marital home with accordion in tow. I'm estimating 14 years but it may be longer. Hang in there.
Thanks for your estimate. I must, however, defer to the forces of nature which are not likely to allow me 14 more years. The practice must therefore be increased.
The "Greatest Accordion Player" from Texarkana, Texas. How you doing Ned? How did you enjoy Steve Riley's lessons? Wish I could have stayed for more than just 1.

Lesson 1 was the worst. Nobody got that waltz. He abandoned that song and went with his own picks. I missed day 2 due to drunkeness (Le Flammes d'Enfer), can't recall the next, but finished with Criminal Waltz, my fave of the week.
Good to meet you and hear your Tit Robe Courte. I'm still working with that one - it pops up in Jongle a Moi if I'm not careful. Both good songs.
Ned - I really like your Rainy day project. Your videos are clear & sound good. However, I can't open Choupique or Jongle Moi. Get a 404 (Page Not Found) Error message. The YouTubes for those tunes do not open. Maybe it's on my end. Otherwise, great job!
