The Holy Grail of YouTube Videos!!!(for me)

a video of DL Menard singing " the Back Door" with Blackie Forestier on accordion...dont know who the fiddlers are...... what a treat to see DL preforming la porte en arriere ...not to mention having Blackie playing accordion who was our sheriff in jennings and who i grew up listening too :)i went to school with his daughter and she always was flirting with me....if i would know what i know now i'd be a **** good accordion player lol

Re: The Holy Grail of YouTube Videos!!!(for me)

The fiddler with the beard is Ali Bain, a Shetland fiddler. The video is from a programme called Ali Bain meets the Cajuns, broadcast about 16 years ago in the UK.

Ali is best known for playing with Boys of the Lough.

I still have the record that accompanied the programme, and that's dated 1988, so I guess that's when it was filmed.

For some reason I can't seem to listen to the D.L. Menard video. Can anyone help.

Re: Re: The Holy Grail of YouTube Videos!!!(for me)

The other fiddler is Lee Manuel.

Re: Re: Re: The Holy Grail of YouTube Videos!!!(for me)

I see the box to click on for it to play and when I do it shows that it is playing but all I see it the box and no sound. I also get a notice that my Java script is off but as far as I know it is on and all else has been updated. Please keep in mind I have limited computer savy! Ha Ha.
