Re: Thx, everyone... Great feedback .... Isleton will rock this year !

I'd love to see Goldman. Someone did mention him, by the way.

And I know for a fact he'd be thoroughly touched and excited to be asked to come out.

Re: Re: Thx, everyone... Great feedback .... Isleton will rock this year !

Yep, sure as the world ... Griff had mentioned Goldman.

I stay in touch with Goldman and his wife Theresa via phone regulary. They are both a treasure of humanity in my estimation. I had decided (last summer)that if somehow Isleton come back together again for what we know Isleton to be, Goldman would be in the show whether he knew it or not.

Something few may know... they have family ties with Ida Guillry (Queen Ida)... daughter, son or neice married one of Ida's kin etc. anyhow, it would be dandy to get them gathered up over here and watch the fun roll out... but Goldman for sure (Ed and I already discussed him). Bon Ton

He does a version of Amedie Two-Step on his latest cd that is just DRIVING. Its not just accordion, its some sort of intertwined syncopation thing going on between the instruments. There's rhythms within rhythms. Wish I could figure out how he's doing it.

Nonc,

Just a gentle nudge, re-read my post. I mentioned Mr. Goldman, althoufgh I misspelled his last name.

Peace,
Griff

Re: Re: Re: Thx, John

John... it is never too late ... thanks.

I agree... Jason is, well just about one of the best real deal musicians going. Jason was one of my Cajun Dream Team must have members 2 years ago... as was Edward, oh what a band of pros that was, I can tell you.

When Jason is on, he is among the funniest guys you'll ever find... his humor is among the best audience grabbers you can hope for when it comes to icebreakers and snagging a crowd, pulling em in, shaking em down and winding em up...besides being a fine fine musician. As for Edward, well there is not an instrument he can not play in this genre, except perhaps pan flute (hell he may wear goat leggins and play a dang pan flute for all I know) Ha. On the Dream Team thing that was, Edward was not only team lead , but he was the primary on drums (he played drums in the Poullard family band as a youngster), also fiddle accordion and guitar... everyone had a rotation on various instruments as part of the dream team band, so as to show the incredible rounded tallent each member posessed. Nothing like it to my knowledge before or after, perhaps there was and I just did not know it... but it was a major happening though, I can tell you brother, hard to top that scene... but we will try.
