We sure had a blast! Mark played Bayou Pon Pon and I tried imitating the organ part that was made famous in the Clint West version back in the late 70s. Yep, that is a keyboard I am playing, not a steel. Would love to learn steel, but so far, I haven't ventured there. Mark also played another song, but I don't remember what it was. Mark did a great job, but was a bit uncomfortable playing standing up! That was something new. He also is playing with the accordion strap on his left shoulder...I STILL can't do that!
You can also clearly see Tim Broussard in the forum picture. Tim is a great accordion player besides being a top-notch bassist who has played on the road with Mark Chestnutt and Wayne Toups. (Luckily, he never got hit by any cars! Played on the road....cars ....hit... ) Ahem...Anyway... ...Fiddler Clint Ward (behind sign), drummer Dale Dougay (behind me) and guitarist Steve Dougay (behind dancers) are obscured in the photo
