Ronald - if you are trying to find folks to jam with, I would think the best place to find folks who are interested in Zydeco music, and hopefully also interested in playing Zydeco Music , would be of course at Zydeco Dances and music events. Go to them, start talking to folks and put the word out at these events that you are learning Zydeco Accordion and looking for others interested in learning and jamming around on the music. You might eventually find some folks of like mind. Once people really like the music, its not a big leap to want to play it, especially if they have played other music in the past.

Hey John,
That's a good idea. The next event I go to I'll ask some people and see if I can find some interest.

good luck

usually you can find someone interested,
but they 'have always wanted to start'
drums, or guitar, or whatever..

wle.

Well, there's a well-founded myth that good musicians are terrible dancers.

I'm proof of that, since I'm an excellent dancer.

If you're dancing, and you get kicked or stepped on by the guy next to you, ask him what kind of instrument he plays.

Dana is an exception to the rule.

I have a Mel Bay type cd in the works featuring Cajun and Zydeco rythm section "minus one" to enable accordion players and fiddlers to practice or try their hand at the one-man/woman band scene, using these tracks free of performance rights.
The Cajun section features traditionals in C, D, A, G wth upright bass, ti=fer and accoustic guitar and "rythm" fiddle on some of the tracks. Zydeco emphasizes jamming in above keys plus Bb and F with double kick a la Beau Jocque and Keith Frank, aggressive bass and ska rythm guitar found in Wayne Toups as well as more traditional Clifton blues shuffle and straight ahead 4/4. This cd is for all types of Louisiana-style accordion, fiddle. Also comes in handy when trying to get bass players, guitarists and drummers familiar with Zydeco and ZydeCajun.
projected availability is Christmas 2006. If anyone is interested, drop me a line at standremusic@yahoo.ca
Bonne semaine a tous
