Re: Cajun Mazurka vids, anyone know any they can post?

Yann Dour playing a MARTIN 2 row....
Yann has been playing Martins for at least a decade, maybe more. The box sounds to be a G/C.

Check the link


He also co authored a Cajun Accordeon tutorial.. my copy is about 15 years old; book with cassette.

Check out the Cajun Ramblers videos and that very cool, big ol' jazz box for a guitar.. that is cool
to the max.

And of course ,to be certified Cajun, must wear plaid and a ball cap. !

Re: Cajun Mazurka vids, anyone know any they can post?

Yann Dour has also been playing Cajun music for a long time.

Photo right out of the book I have in front of me.
I believe Yann stopped wearing shoes after this photo, emulating his hero Nathan.

Note Nathan playing a 2 row Hohner
2 row..... Hohner ... Pokerwork no less

Gee famous player with a Hohner.. and a 2 row,
against tradition ... the shame of it all.
