Melo, are you saying that you have a "G" accordion? Have you tried to play along with both recordings? Does it match? I've got to be sure. Slim Doucet has eluded me and many others for long enough! It's time to know for certain.
Re: Revon Reed's 1957 Courir de Mardi Gras Article (slim on youtube)
I didn't do it, but I try it a few minutes ago and I think you're right about the G accordion. But the G I have is an old one and I have to repair some thing before it's good to play. But as far as I can hear he played a G accordion.

Awesome! When you get that "G" fixed up let me know if you are able to create the same magic as Slim. Careful, you may conjure up some kind of ghost if you play "Yeux Noir" just like he did.:worried: :hushed:

Since the original topic of this thread was Mardi Gras, here's a news clip from our Courir in Cameron Parish, complete with an interview of yours truly...first time I've ever watched myself on TV, hah! Accordion and Fiddle players are John Alva Leger and Scott Romero, respectively.
