Re: Anyone heard of Evangeline Accordions??

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the support of the troops over here. But Im not in the service anymore. I served my 6 years as a Blackhawk crewchief/doorgunner. My Army days are over. LOL. Now Im just a wrench monkey working on MedEvac Blackhawk helicopters here in Iraq as a contractor. Someone's gotta keep the birds in the air for the troops to fly so they can extract wounded soldiers. I really do appreciate the support and I will definetly pass it on to the troops I work with. I wish it wasnt so hot here so I could practice on the accordion. It only reaches about 130 here. I dont think that would be good for the old squeezebox. I do want to thank yall for the information about Evangeline Accordions. Us cajun music enthusiasts are a close knit family. Im sad to say that with the modern generation coming up, our culture is a dying breed. I am the only one in my family that even wants to keep the tradition alive. My great grandmother and grandfather played, and Im the only one that has the passion for it to carry on the tradition. I know Im rambling on but I do want to say that I drive people here in Iraq crazy when I play a little cajun and swamp pop here on the speakers. Turn it up loud and proud!!! Thanks once again guys.

God Bless,

Vince
