More Amédé?

Hey folks,

I've been considering working up a discography of the "dark ages" of Cajun music on 78RPM, and found a goldmine of info in an "Online 78 RPM Discographical Project", found in the first link.

I found THIS entry, of two recordings which make up a single unknown to me:
Tout Que Reste C'est Mon Linge (Master 83859=1)/
Sunset (Master 83858=1)

Credited to Ardoin/McGee and issued on Bluebird 2192.

At this same session, on 8/8/34, also were cut these tracks, which are on the "I'm Never Coming Back" CD:
Le Blues De Voyage(83854=1)/Valse De Amities(83855=1)
2190 Oberlin (83857=1)/Le Blues De Crowley (83856=1)

Issued on Bluebird 2189 & 2190 respectively.

Now, rather than think "oh well, alternate name for known tracks", I searched that site and pulled master #s and such for every track on the "Never Comin' Back" CD, and the Columbia comp with his first 6 tracks. 26 on the Arhoolie disc, 6 on the Columbia disc. That makes 32.

So, the recieved wisdom has always been that there were only 32...!

Ye yaille, ain't that a revoltin' development...

With Cajun music, its so hard to be a completist...

Re: More Amédé?

I just realized, that this might have been mentioned in the liner notes to the Arhoolie CD (not at arms length right now...). I think I've read about it somewhere...

Sounds like I should throw this one at Joe Bussard and see what happens...

Re: More Amédé?

have you read ANN SAVOY's book

Re: Re: More Amédé?

That one's on my list for sometime in the near future. I've heard some great things about it so now I have this urge to finally pick it up...
