Do you have a source for Eric Martin L'Accordéon Cajun method?
Where or who do you order it from???

Thanks .... Ed

Hello Ed,
Scroll down to the subject :eBay Cajun Method w/tabs by Eric Martin. All the info is there.
Mine arrived and I'm pleased with the book and with the CD.
Good luck.
Claude

Thanks Claude.

I found it on the eBay in France.
Now I have to get the nerve to buy someting totally thru French. Been awhile since I spoke any French and that was with my college girl friend from France.
We'll see. Thanks again.... Ed

Thanks for the review....its enough to make me order it:)

does anyone have the junior martin book and video?? if so how is it?

Hi.. I found my copy on eBay France.. if you from B. Loffet who sells the method on eBay.. search under accordeon diatonique.. or perhaps on U.S. ebay under the heading listed in the above posting. Bernard's site is http://diato.org .

The playing is not viruoso Cajun born and bred.. but is perfect for learning from and adding your own flavours to. These are French diatonique players doing Cajun..and teaching it well. The French have a long tradition of teaching diatonic accordion via tabs and CDs.. (usually 2 row )..and there are plenty of similar materials for French traditional music to be played on GC double row accordion.

I have never heard of JR MARTIN's method..where is that found ?'

Thanks.. GLENN

Hi,

This was the first 'tuition' method I tried - before getting the Dirk Powell videos and the Savoy video.

Nice and straightforward and easy to understand and follow. I still find that I refer to it every now and then. There are some tunes on there that I still haven't got versions of on cajun artist's CDs. As Glenn says, great for the photos too and another nice piece of 'cajun' related 'memorabilia' to own at an inexpensive price.

Eric Martin's cajun band are very good if anyone has heard their music? - 'Eric Martin and the Cajun Ramblers.' Christian kindly sent me a CD of theirs a couple of years ago. Recommended.

He makes his own 'Martin' cajun boxes as well. I believe they are on a par with Louisiana made boxes.

best wishes

yes i am looking for help on some music sheets on songs for my accordions i have a C and D im looking for any songs i can get so i can learn.

Hello.

I ordered my copy of L'Accordéon Cajun today direct from Eric Martin.
Looking forward to it and thanks for the info on it.. .... Ed

Can you please post the link to order directly from Eric? I have not been able to find the book except from ebay.fr and I can't read enough French to get through that one.

thanks

Hal,

I too was reluctant to buy from ebay France since I do not have a paypal account and know very little French. I found Eric Martin website

http://perso.orange.fr/accordeonsericmartin/

and got his email address.

Then sent him an email asking how I could buy from him.

I would first check with your bank about getting a money order in Euro's
It may be another expense and take a couple of days.

Hope this helps ..... Ed
