Re: Re: Re: Mr. Bois-Sec...Mr. Goldman

Here’s a little information on “French Creole House Dance,” Mr. Goldman’s new CD released by Louisiana Radio Records, one of the topics that started this thread. It’s just what the title says: real old style la-la consisting of 22 cuts with Mr. Goldman on vocals and accordion, accompanied by Steve Bing on fiddle, who does a really nice job playing underneath or together with the accordion, and Donna, Steve’s wife, on washboard, triangle, spoons (and she dances on a wooden board). Mr. Goldman is about the only Creole musician I know of around today still performing whose heartfelt vocals come directly from his own life experience in the old traditions. Steve Bing also does a nice job singing several songs, and he plays accordion on a couple of numbers.

Among the songs: “Opelousas Two-Step,” “Dimanche après midi Grand Marais,” “Chameaux One-Step,” “Oh Bye, Bye,” “Blues de Amédé,” “Quoi faire,” “Donnez moi la Mr. Leroy,” “Valse de ma vie,” plus Mr. Goldman’s own “Iota Waltz” and “Valse de mes amis,” the latter song thanking Joel Savoy for the good job he has done recording the CD—and it is an excellent recording, with the vocals very clear and everything in balance. There’s a lot more good stuff on this CD, which is available online through Floyd’s Records.

I provided a link to a photos of Goldman Thibodeaux and Steve Bing at the Feb. 15 jam session at Nick’s in Eunice.
