Re: Re: New Pine Leaf Boys CD - What do you think about it?

Mine arrived yesterday and I've only given it one listen. I like it. My first impression is that it's a bit more Creole/bluesy (rather than traditional Cajun) than the first CD. They also seem to be writing more of their own stuff, which I think is cool. One dopey question though - Track 5: Mon Coeur Fait Mal uses a well known two step for its tune, but I seem to be suffering from a brain fart and can't identify it - can anyone help me out and name the tune? Thanks.

Patrick,

That's the melody of Fee Fee Ponciaux (Poncheaux? Poncho? I have seen all kinds of spellings) by Joseph Falcon, later done by Nathan Abshire. Adapted a bit for the vocal part.

I also liked the original by Drew, I Lost my Chance.

I have a CD of Aldus Roger and he called it
Fi Fi Poncho.

Thanks Neal and Ron! I hate it when I hear a tune that is so familiar and can't dredge up the title to save my life!! Embarassing.
