The audio processing software techniques must have taken a big leap forward recently.
I just bought this 4 cd box set, Cajun Capers - Cajun Music 1928 - 1954, by Proper Records, and they cleaned up a LOT of background static. You can still hear some, but, I can h...

This one's kinda got me stumped.
Anyone got a tab for this to start me off, fiddle tab?
He's playing tuned down as far as I can tell, but the opening note is more like an Eb than an E.
Anyone play this? Its an Ambrose tune that's always intrigued me. Think I"m gonna add it to my list of songs to learn. I was fooling with it today and it didn't seem too far out of reach.
Hi. Just learned about this forum. Been looking for a Louisiana made Bb for a long time, by Martin or Savoy. Bought a Martin C 2 yrs ago. Mr Martin has just raised his prices by approx 500.00 in the last year. A bit steep. Looking for a good used Bb. Anyone know of o...

Hey fellas:
The following link is a somewhat blurry video clip I taped of Joel Guzman this past summer at the end of an Accordion Workshop he held in the Alamo, TX. He does a little improv upon the request of some of the students and plays a few different styles o...
Just got back from my first trip to Acadiana (Lafayette etc.). El Sido's, Richard's Club, Vermillionville, Cafe Des Amis. One musical highlight among many was catching L'Angelus at Gallagher's Sunday afternoon. They started out without an accordion player so of cou...

Listening to Savoy / Doucet's version of 'Tits Yeux Noirs and for some reason it has always reminded me of snow falling and winter. Could be because I'm from Maryland. The way they do it almost sounds like a Christmas carol.
Merry Christmas!

I guess I'm just on a roll with these Yahoo groups.
I'm thinking about getting a new box built, and am looking for ideas. So, I've created a Yahoo group where folks can post photos of their pride and joys (accordions only please).
This way, they can stay up th...
Since the postings of tablature here eventually cycle off, and there's no directy way to search for a song name and its tab at the same time, I've started yet another yahoo group. The address is above. I've only got two of my tabs up there now.
Does anyone mind...

This has been a busy Fall season (remodeling).
Through all the to-do's with this inside re-doing, came a new music room for me to slip away and enjoy to the fullest. Took one of the three bd. rooms on the otherside of the house and converted it to a victorian music...
It felt like Christmas this afternoon when the mailman brought me a little box from Floyd's Record Shop containing the Lost Bayou Ramblers new CD - Bayou Perdu and Ray Abshire's new release, arrete pas la musique. If you have not checked these 2 new CD's out, I wou...
Well, my cousin pulled through and showed up with a tiny old suitcase. Inside was a Regal (why did I think Martin?) black D box. The box is made in Germany and has the Ariette reed stop positions (down=on). It's a wonderful box, bellows are good, it's cajun tuned...

CD> Merci!
Jude called yesterday (so good to hear his voice!) so thought I would pass on what I have learned. He is back at his home, trying to do clean-up, although services in Groves are not restored. In Beaumont, on the other hand, services are back, and Ed has been back h...
Hi ya all
I have been playin now about 4 years now. I can usually
figure out a given "A" part in time. The problem is
learning a "B" part that sounds "Cajun". I sense that
there are some rifs that are simular in a lot of "B"
parts that inhance the Cajun sound...
Looking for someone to post the lyrics to the Broken Family Waltz. It's on Jimmy Breaux's second CD and Kevin Naquin's "Pour le premiere fois." I didn't see it in the books by Ann Savoy or Raymond Francois.
