Neal;
I think the New York Concert recording was reissued and is now available at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores--I don't have the CD in front of me and can't recall the title, but seem to recall that Mr. Hadley is featured as accordionist.

Peace,
Griff

Sorry--my bad...

The disc I mentioned is "The Balfa Brothers-Legends of Cajun Music."

The accordionist is Nonc Allie Young, not Mr. Hadley.
Peace,
Griff

Yeah, the one I remember had Hadley Fontenot on one side for sure, and Allie Young on the other. It wasn't the same trip as the Crackerbarrel cd, because the Crackerbarrel cd had Will on second fiddle, but the other one had Dick Richard on it. It was a Swallow production, so they might still have some old lps or tapes. I never saw it on cd.

There was, in Europe, a CD issued called "The New York Concerts PLUS". Is this the one with both Hadley Fontenot and Nonc Allie Young on it?
I am looking for it - I saw it on eBay but didn't nab it.
The date given on the "New York.."/Cracker Barrel CDs I believe is 1974. Didn't Mr. Fontenot pass on just previous to that?

PS - I am new to the forum, so I figured I'd let my first post be a possible help one!

I am also not a reliable source, but I think Hadley Fontenot died sometime around 1987. The last time I jammed with him was probably around 1985/6 - maybe a year earlier - I'm not very good with remembering dates.

Allie Young, Nathan Abshire and Hadley Fontenot are all on the CD.

Hadley Fontenot was on the 1978 recording. The CD is a bit unclear but this would suggest he's on about 9 tracks.
