Re: Re: best accordion player we have never heard: Joyah Guidry
Thanks Nedro. I will add them to the list I started the other night. I'm starting to see that Amede Ardoin didn't just appear on the scene and create all Cajun accordion music. It's starting to look like there were many unknown accordion players going back to the 1830's roughly. And I think they got their song repertoire from fiddle players both white and black. It is said that Dennis McGee had a song repertoire of close to 500 songs on fiddle. I would think that when the accordion made it to Cajun land, they tried to hunt and peck out these old fiddle songs on the accordion by memory.
