Great stuff Greezy McSkill!

You're inspiring me to get back trying to learn this cool ol stuff.

Playing the accordion behind your head is fun too!

Ha! AJ I played the accordion behind my head once. I found I couldn't play too well. I knew two people, they were brothers. They grew up as young boys with one accordion in the household. Very competitive they were. Before you knew it they were double teaming that one accordion. One man would stand in front and either play the base or treble side with one hand. The other would stand behind him and hold on to the back of his belt with one hand and reach through and play whatever side of the accordion his brother in the front wasn't playing. Yes, this is a well known parlor trick now a days. But these guys were doing it in the 1930's. It has since evolved into the two accordion players sitting side by side and playing on one accordion. Either way, it takes great knowledge of the accordion and the music being played and a good sense of feel for the instrument and it's rhythms, but I never really wanted to try doing it. It just seemed like an attention getting stunt to me. These two men lived right down the road from Jesse Lege, or he lived right down the road from them. I know for a fact that Jesse would visit with at least one of these old men in the old days. Jesse Leger is a fine example of the "regional style" these two old men played. We'll call it the Highway 14 regional style. These two brothers were steeped in the HWY 14 style. They influenced a few musicians in their community. If I'm not mistaken, Jesse Leger can be seen playing two man accordion with Walter Mouton on YouTube. Jesse became aware of two man accordion because of these two brothers.
It is most certainly a very small world. And it all happened just off of HWY 14.

It's a really interesting thread.
This is the way I learned les Flammes.

Looks like Gainey Arsement. Sounds like Gainey Arsement. Is it Gainey, or is it Orville, or both?

Nedro it's 100% Ganey.

Sounds a bit like fe fe poncho that version.

(And lots of great suggestions in the right column, particularly Blind Uncle Gaspard's beautiful songs, some I had never heard).
