Re: Lyric versions of Eunice Two step

On the Robert Bertrand recording, he plays fiddle. The accordion player is John Oliver, a very underrated player.

Don't forget Iry LeJeune's version, which he titled Jolie Catin! I think I like that one the best, though it must not be the easiest to play! The lyrics are in the Ron Yule book and in the booklet of the ACE cd on Iry LeJeune, CDCHD428. 3 verses.

In his version of Eunice Two Step with Alphee Bergeron, Shirley Bergeron enunciates the lyrics clearly. Shirley was good for that.

Re: Lyric versions of Eunice Two step

Thanks Marc for the Lyrics.Bryan,I been listening to a lot of Amede and Iry LeJune Lately,I like both their versions.I think Iry's Jolie Catin would be the easiest lyrics for me to sing,although i like Bertrand 's singing.So Bertrand was a fiddler.Thanks for the info Neal
I love the accordion and the fiddle in Cajun music,but you know what turned me on to Cajun when I was a mere lad,was the singing with the music.We got to sing it,even if we suck
P.S.Ok, there might be some people we don't want singing

Re: Lyric versions of Eunice Two step

Thankyou for the kind recognition given to John Oliver. I will pass the recognition on to his family. He was my grandmothers brother and I have lots of good memories going spend the weekend with him in Lake Charles and going to his dances.
Peace
