To answer all your questions, YES. I know alot of the cajun tunes and yes I can whistle or hum the notes. And of course, I've read Marc's writings and watched his videos. In fact, I shook his hand today and talked about accordions with him at the jam session. I picked up an Ariette off of the shelf and joined in. After a few songs of pecking and hunting for the notes, I found the notes and tunes came out of my accordion. Not perfect or anything like that but coherent music came out to accompaniment the band. Yes, accordion is lead but when you're learning it's a back seat until you get the notes right.

Do you have or know where I can get the notation on the D box?
