Re: first squeeze

First RECORDED accordion player was reckoned to be Joe Falcon, of course, unless anyone knows different (Neal?). How about wax cylinders?

I remember my own first squeeze, but that's another story!

Re: Re: first squeeze

I concur -- Joe & Cleoma Falcon -- probably the "first" "Cajun" player(s) to be recognized as such by the "first" recording. Then again, I wasn't around then. Ha! First accordion player in Louisiana was probably Creole -- very likely in New Orleans. I can only discern this historical info through the same videos and books available to everyone else.

Ta-dah!
