Re: Tit Mamou?

Thanks, Neal. I was wondering what other song titles were the same tune as Tit Mamou, know any?

Re: Tit Mamou?

No, the only titles I know for that tune are 'Tit Mamou and Cankton Two Step.

Re: Tit Mamou?

So is the Forgeron Two step not the same tune? I like it when I can tell Cory McCauley he's wrong.

Re: Tit Mamou?

Cory's right! Same tune. I just went back and heard my copy of Forgeron Two Step. But I never knew if it was done by Sidney Brown. Sounds like the kind of thing he would do. The recording of that song Ganey let me hear was with his grandfather Andrew Doucet on accordion, with Vinesse LeJeune on fiddle and vocal. VJ played with Sidney Brown's band. Maybe Doucet did it with Sidney Brown's band? You'll have to ask.

Re: Tit Mamou?

So there's still a chance Cory's wrong, I can still hope, ha. Well, that makes since on Ganey's grandfather. On Ganey's cd, he has Forgeron Two step, which is same tune as Tit Mamou with different lyrics, and he has it listed as "original", maybe attibuting to his grandfather? Or maybe he meant the lyrics were original? I'll have to ask him.

Re: Tit Mamou?

To add onto Neal's material...

Lawrence Walker's Osson Two Step. Not to be confused with Joe Falcon's Osson One Step. Osson One Step is loosely based on Rubber Dolly. So is Bayou Pon Pon, High Point, Janot Special, Two Step d'Osrun, etc. Some more loosely based than others.

I'm not familiar with Joe's version of St. Landry, which is Ardoin's Opelousas, Aldus' Duson, and Iry's Chene.

Re: Tit Mamou?

Joe Falcon's St. Landry Waltz from the Arhoolie live album.

Re: Tit Mamou?

+ Dennis McGee's Madame Young = Colinda

Re: Tit Mamou?

Aha, Now we know that Madame's Young first name was Colinda.
Or is that conclusion made too easy

Re: Tit Mamou?

For reference





I've know a rare song by Jessie Lege "Fais do Bebe", which is the same tune as "Tit Mamou" and the "Cankton Two Step" but slowed down to a quick waltz with different lyrics. Not to be confused with "Fais do do bebe" which is about cotton and soybean fields, better known as the two step "Le Range Coton".

Never heard of "The Black Smith Two Step">>"Two Step de Forgeron" by Sidney Brown. Cool Title.
