I'm being haunted right now by this song off of Nathan Abshire's "French Blues" cd. I'm trying to learn how to play it, I must have listened to it 50 times in the last 3 days. Has anyone else heard of this song, or know anybody else who has recorded it?
Thanks.

Ouais ! ! That’s a great tune. And what a great player he was ! The usual title is Fee Fee Pon-Cho (or Fifi Poncheaux… various spellings). You also have it on the "Pine Grove Blues/The Good Times Are killing Me" CD by Nathan. There is an older version by Joe Falcon ("Live at the Triangle" CD I think) and a recent one by Ray Abshire. And probably many other recent versions, just look for that title.

Several well-known songs have unusual titles on that CD ("Point de Lou Two-Step" is "J'ai Eté Au Bal"...)

Thanks alot, I knew I had heard that song before. I have it on an Aldus Roger cd, though I think I still prefer Nathan Abshire's version.

I have two other versions:

Refering to FiFi Poncho (not French Blues - as might have been implied on the prior e-mail)

1) Poullard, Poullard and Granier
Danny Poullard plays the accordion part
Louisiana Radion records
2) Jesse Lege and Edward Poullard
Jesse Lege plays the accordion part
Arhoolle 9031
Ed Poullard play fiddle on each

Jo-el Sonnier did it on his "Cajun Pride" cd.
I've found his covers of N Abshire's tunes a little easier to learn from than the original.
In addition to the album mentioned above, try also "Cajun Roots" and "Cajun Pride"
