Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hadley Fontenot.... how about Nonc Allie Young?

Tracks 13-21 are, and I quote from the CD, from a variety of sources, and information is sometimes sketchy.

Track 13 is as appears on the second Balfa Swallow album 'Play more traditional cajun music'.

14, 19, 20 and 21 were taken from Nathan Abshire's 'The good times are killing me'

Tracks 15 and 16 appeared on a 45 (sw10256) Only Dewey and Will Balfa are named musicians.

Tracks 17 and 18 appeared on a 45 (sw10267) Dewey Balfa and Nathan Abshire are named musicians.

Sorry, just in case you missed my other posting.

Tracks 2,5 and 12 are the 1974 concert with Allie Young. The remaining tracks are the 1978 concert with Hadley Fontenot.

Phil wrote "The remaining tracks are the 1978 concert with Hadley Fontenot."

Also, one or more tracks from that concert feature the fiddles of Dewey Balfa and Dick Richard, sans accordion.

Yes, I knew Aubrey "Bo-Boy" Deville, we played together a couple of times. A very good fiddle player, but didn't play much professionally (if that's what we can call it). I was surprised to find a recording of him on Neal's site - I didn't think he had ever been recorded. He played with many different local groups, but never regular, mostly because of an alcohol problem, except for the last few years before he died. He was one real nice guy.
