short geno video

tinyurl.com/c6oqh

this is pretty cool

if i had to pick only one way to play it would be
this

not that i can do this but i would like to

somebody say what it is, cajun, creole, zydeco, or
just plain geno..?

anyway it;s [too] short

wle.

Re: short geno video

sounds like "zydeco ala geno" ..thanks for the clip

Re: short geno video/ anybody hearing what I hear?

Someone/something is doubling up with that box. I can hear fiddle slurs and but can't see a fiddle player in this clip. Is Geno midi-ing thru something?. If not, I sure would like to know what brand he's playing.
Thanks for posting the tiny url Larry.

Re: Re: short geno video/ anybody hearing what I hear?

usually geno plays very wet-tuned accordions.

that can sound weird, like a calliope.

bruce daigrepont is about the only other guy
who plays them that wet.

other than that, it just sounds like bad
audio compression effects.

though he may have had a fiddler.
sometimes he does that too.

Re: Re: Re: short geno video/ anybody hearing what I hear?

Larry,

Full screen view of the video looks like one stop is down and off-set closer to the finger board. Is theis a two-key box,perhaps a six stop box?

Peace,
Griff

Re: Re: Re: Re: short geno video/ anybody hearing what I hear?

might be one of those 5 stop, one key boxes for full sound whether playing wet or dry.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: short geno video/ anybody hearing what I hear?

Nope, its a 4 stop box. That's the low bank of reeds on my box.
