I think the earliest recording under this title was by Milton Molitor with Chuck Guillory's band, but it's probably most closely associated under that title with Aldus Roger. Interesting stuff about waffles and pancakes. I haven't seen a version by Pee Wee Broussard but would like to.
#1 clip on the Arhoolie site for Chuck Guillory. Whole song at link #2. I like Milton Molitor's easy pace on this one.
Here's a quote by Raymond E. Francois in his book Ye Yaille, Chere, "I have never been able to find an explanation of the name Wafus." Considering the extensive research done by Mr. Francois for the book and the fact that he himself is an accomplished cajun musician, if he doesn't know I don't if we'll ever know.
Or Waffles, with blackberry or raspberry syrup? Do the lyrics on Neal's site or the Youtube version have anything to do with Breakfast Crepes?
Way out in Left Field.
Anyway, it's a bouncy, happy number that is easy to learn, and should be in everybody's playbook. Just wish I could play it like Marc Savoy. Give me 50 more years.
