Re: Early Cajun Music: "The Pee Wee Special" - Pee Wee Broussard
Thanks for this tune, I've never heard it before. I met PeeWee when he came to Seattle
for a week at FiddleTunes camp. He was there to play fiddle with Aldus Roget. I didn't get to hear him play accordion that week since, he said, "Aldus hired me to play the fiddle"!
I did run into him in Louisiana later and got to hear his accordion playing. What a character!
Re: Early Cajun Music: "The Pee Wee Special" - Pee Wee Broussard
Yes, it was. As you may know PeeWee's brother cut some tendons in Peewee's left middle finger playing around with a knife when they were kids. Of course it was never repaired and was always raised in a salute while he fingered his fiddle with his other fingers. Said that his finger had gotten him into a lot of fights. But I'm afraid I don't have any photos.
