Bryan:

I would recommend you ask Mr. Cecil to tape a conversation with you--maybe several. Another poster on this board has real a knack for documentary stuff and has visited and recorded with older players such as Mr. Bois-Sec. Like you, he recognizes that these guys leave us... and often with little but memories.

You seem to have the gift of story telling, I am sure it came from the gift of listening.

Peace,
Griff

That an idea Griff, if Harrison would go for it. Getting him to talk is easy, but not sure about getting him to talk on record. I would love to pick his knowledge about Cajun music (its substantial), accordions, and stories in general. Thats an idea in general I have been playing with for quite a while. Even considered going to some of the nursing homes and seeing how many recollections and stories I could record, in French. Not sure how many would be interested in that type of thing but I bet some would.

If I did I wouldnt be interested in making money on it, just would like to see that stuff recorded and maybe made available to those interested. I have always been interested in older folks stories and memories, and of course, stuff having to do with this music. Hmmmmm....
