Cheers

Great!!Seems i'm not the only one to "discover" old footage. (Website #2 and 3).

Great composition, and nice production too!!

Great lyrics :
".....une saucisse entière, dans sa chaudière, et je lâche pas la patate...."
Sacré Gérard !!

Marc.

Awesome song and movie.
Thanks.

Awesome tune!

Am I the only one that drooled a little at the sight of that Monarch?

John

Except it was a Sterling.
Le Piquant

Jerry: Take a look at the picture of the Monarch on the steps of the house before Gerard starts playing the tune. I'm pretty sure that's Marc's personal Monarch with the original bellow divider.

John

I also get a special feeling when I see a Sterling or a Monarch.
When I was visiting LA, Robert Leblanc played one and that accordion sounded very powerfull in his hands.
For most of us it's an utopic accordion.

So that's why most CA's nowadays have those art deco style decorations?
Because they're all modeled on the Sterlings and Monarchs?

So,

Could someone please print out the lyrics please?
Thanks in advance.

Can't find this song listed in Mr. Francois's or Ms. Ann's books.

Great start-off number that may be impossible even for me to screw up.

Old computer went to graveyard and I lost a ton of stored lyrics that I was gonna get around to print out someday. Oh well.

JB

OK,

So I forgot to specify the lyrics for Entere Moi Pas, as performed by Peer, and others.

I Know Gerard had his lyrics to Ville Platte Shiver printed out on the You Tube video.

Another case of Old Timers Syndrome.

Muchas Gracias,

JB

There's actuall two totally different lyrics to Enterre Moi Pas. The lyrics to the Balfa version are on the liner notes and refer to fishing (??), the other version, the only source I can list off hand, is the Ellis Vanicor cd that Ganey had a hand in. Don't have either here, if no one has them on by tomorrow I'll post them.

Don't Bury Me, which I guess had Ellis Vanicor on fiddle, recorded with the Bobby Leger band, before the Balfa recording.

Thanks Neal, I knew there was an older version but I'd never heard it.

JB, this is what I hear on this version, anyone hear anything different let me know:

Tite fille quand moi j’va mourir,
Enterre moi pas dans l’cimetiere,
Enterre moi, donc, dans l’coin de la cour,
Le coin de la cour de ton papa, bebe.

Tite fille, moi j’oir pas,
Les miseres que tu m’as fait,
Tite fille tu t’en aller, t’en aller,
Pour r’join un aut’, bebe.

Little girl, when I die,
Don’t bury me in the cemetery,
Please bury me in the corner of the yard,
The corner of your dad’s yard, baby.


Little girl, I don’t see
The misery you’ve caused me,
Little girl you’ve gone away, gone away,
To meet another, baby.

Quelques petites fautes d'orthographe, mais parfait Bryan !!

Marc.

Bien merci, Marc. My writing is self taught so I can only guess it looks like an illiterates writing. And I always wrestle with spelling out the Cajun contractions or leaving them as pronounced.

One note about the song Entiere Moi Pas, is I think 73 Special is the same tune played in the second position.

woops, meant Triangle Club Special is like Enterre Moi Pas.

That one got by me. Thanks John.

Wrong !
It is my own Monarch (100% original, shot on the porch of my shotgun house in Grand Anse lately
Gerard

You're the lucky one.
Is playing on that Monarch much different than playing on an accordion that's build in Louisiana?

Indeed, Cher. My Monarch accordion is more like a museum piece, mint, with all its original parts, its original box, even its genuine wrapping paper.
My Sterling accordion is in Bb. You can hear it clearly on the Frisson de la Ville Platte.
It was reworked years ago, "swing tuning" was added, and it has a very nice "old-timey" sound, similar to the Sterling accordion of the late Cyprien Landreneau.
Now, when I went to rock and roll at Sun Studio lately, I used a brand new F accordion built by my ole chum Marc Savoy. It had the right sound for recording the song I had made for the occasion.
