You know, Roger, I think that we musicians, in the search for superior equipment, lose the very essence of that old dancehall sound. Bigger is not better. Better is better.

Without taking andy thing away from the musicians that have transformed the accordion playing style of today I still perfer the style of the musicians of the past. I think that playing the accordion without a lot of razzle dazzle gives a person a better feel for the music, ie: goose bumps. I can listen to the masters today and really enjoy their music but, I when I listen to Cajun music and here the musicians that got us here that's when I can get drunk and I don't even drink, don't need to.

Here's a list of dance halls I have enjoyed the real stuff:
T-George's - Lake Arthur
Triangle Club - Scott
Rainbow - Club in Vinton
Club 90 - Iowa
Shamrock - Lake Charles
Le Bleu Settlement Lake Charles
Cormier's - Cankton
Slim's Club - Kinder
Lake Shore Club - Lake Arthur
VFW's all over the place
Holly Beach
B.O Sparkle - Bridge City Texas
Club 88 Texas
And a bunch of other little bars all around south Louisiana
Life is good!

Yeah, that's what I call the frisson factor. It aint always about fancy fingers, but feeling. That's one reason I often don't like studio recordings of Cajun music, it's too perfect. I like my Cajun music straight with all it's wonderful imperfections. And I still like it best in the back yard, on a porch, or around a camp fire with yelling kids and beer cans opening for background.

I quess we could call the sound of opening beer cans T-aluminum instead of T-fer.
