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.
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.
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.
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.
