Re: Lost on Spanish Trail

Are you trying to notate the accordion or fiddle part from the Aldus recording?

I know that logically it seems better to write out what you hear the fiddle doing however that would only give you the A part of the song, and the fiddlers playing on the track tend to do more by way of harmonizing than playing a straight melody.

- Hi Y'all, well, usually the B parts in a lot of Cajun accordion tunes are pretty similar, probably otherwise they'll get too boring? But OST is one of those gifted with an interesting B. I feel that the C at the end is only since every body's used to it, a G sounds more to the point, melodically. One day i'd want a Cajun accordion with more chords; they exist here in Holland.



- Besides, Marc, you're welcome, maybe next year we can drink some more ...
