Re: Re: Re: New Marc Savoy CD

Yes, what Rick said!

Regarding the names of the tunes, "Two Step a Sidney Fourneroy" surely sounds what I know as "High Point Two Step". Not sure about the history of the names but it'll make interesting conversation with Marc. Until then (and that aside), it's one great sounding CD of pure, musical accordion playing by a master!

Hey Dale! I'm not 100% about this, because I never asked, but the way I understand it, even though the people after whom he named the songs may not have written them, these are the people who played these songs that first inspired him. That's just my idea... I just remember that, when I expressed my love for "Quelle Etoile" to my dad, he said, "Oh! You GOTTA hear Alpheé Bergeron do it!" And he grabbed the record and had me listen to it. So, on the album, "Quelle Etoile" is called "La Valse a Alpheé Bergeron".

Right...anyway, any of you who might not have it and are interested can check out at least two of the songs from it here http://www.myspace.com/marcsavoyappreciationpage

I don't remember how many are there, but I'm too lazy to go look right now.

Seems that I ordered one of the first copies, half a year ago .

I put the page in my "favourites".

This man deserves an award for his oevre and work for the music and culture, right?
