Thanks guys. Hopefully by next year I can do it on the ten button. It's such a simply made instrument...I don't understand why it's so hard for me to wrap my head around it and make it do what I want. May be because I have not one drop of Louisiana blood in me. I'm startin' to think that's a pre requisite. ;~)
Will keep on trying and keep you posted with any advances or lightning bolt flashes of brilliance if, and/or,as they occur.
Just keep listening to Cajun music until you are fully saturated with the tunes and sound of it.
My German/Danish/English/Welsh blood probably doesn't hurt. They play pretty good as well.
Does it count that my older half-sister and half-brother had a French Canadian father?
But then again, any La boys out there want to be blood-brothers?
John, it's funny you say that. Back when I used to work as a paramedic, I had a partner with a last name of Babin, pronounced Bah-Bain "btw not with the ain as in pain, but like the French pronunciation of Allan" anyways, when he would go out with he's buddies and see a girl he liked, his come on line would be "you got any Babin in you, no, you want some?" The first time I heard him say that, I thought I was gonna die !!
