Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Who ever hid greezy's keyboard please return it:grin:

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

The season has come to an end folks. Mardi Gras is just around the corner. I tend to get this same feeling every year and I always just decide to withdraw from the scene and go off on my own and busy my mind and body with other things. Yes, I, just like you tend to change with the seasons. Sometimes, you just have to walk away from it. Put that accordion in the box for a while and leave it alone. I do this every year without fail. So that, when I get lonesome for it in the fall, I come back and play it with excitement, interest, and vigor!

Before I go, I would like to leave you with a concept that you can delve in to in your spare time throughout the year......

Try to learn the song "When The Saints Go Marching In" on your accordion in all 4 different keys or playing positions. You may be surprised how many Cajun songs were created from that one song alone. Notice how when you really get going with the "Saints Marching Song" played at two step speed, all of the familiar licks, notes, and combos that start showing up as you play. This song is a good song to help you to learn your whole keyboard and the different starting positions for each of the 4 keys of play. Incorporate your "doubles" as often as you can!

In your other spare time, learn "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on the push, in the Primary Key, or in the 1st position of which ever accordion you choose. Get good at it and play it at Two Step speed. The whole time you're doing this, pay attention to how much in common "Mary's Little Lambs" has with the "Perrodin Two Step".

I once told you that the "Perrodin" was an ole "Parlor Trick" that intimidated most accordion players. Now, you can prove it to yourself by morphing it to the got dam "Mary Had A Little Lamb" song of all things! What was hidden, has now been revealed unto you.

Until I rise again, LOL. Bon chance et soigner toi. "Good Luck and Take Care of Yourself".

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

I don't know if you are showing just how chicken **** you are or just what kind of a coward. Good riddance and may you stay gone. The **** slinging days have bored me to tears. I will admit this is the first post of yours that I read the whole thing. And what a waste of my time. You hibernate every time you get called out. No one will miss you and the ones that will are fools.

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Mr Jerry, maybe you should read Greezy's post. All of them. If you would, I'm pretty sure you would change your mind about him. You would also probably change the way in which you respond to him. After all, you wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself now would you?

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Or even worse, you wouldn't want people to see you as some kind of modern day Judas of the accordion forum. LOL, have a great year!

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

with greasy going into hibernation we are still stuck with his other personalities "blue" and the other guy

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

greasy blue and 33 one man/women hopefully all 3 will hibernate

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Good riddance but he will be back In no time flaunting his knowledge and other stuff if he’s that good then show it most accordion players I know are proud to post to Facebook or social media playing their accordion because they are not afraid or gonna flaunt what they know

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

This is for you two guys. Why so much hate? Makes me wonder what your intended purposes are. I leave you on a good note with this song. Don't be bashful if you find yourself listening to it over and over and over again. LOL. Man, just listen to that fiddle work they put in there, pure genius!

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Good ending Greeze:innocent:

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Hi Randy, good to hear from you now and then :blush:
Greezy is an important item here at the forum, but it's sometimes going to far.
In my opinion he's write about interesting things with accordion playing and it's also funny sometimes what he's saying.
Reading between the lines is a difficult matter :blush:
I have some good news for you too :wink:
I bought some time ago a B-flat made by Junior Martin :joy:
All the best man

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Melo glad to hear from you as well glad you have a fine accordion made by the best in my opinion Jr. Martin. As always Jerry the La Pigette is always complaining about something what a BITTER OLD MAN he is. :sob:

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

In 2011 we also visit the jam in Thibodeaux which was great for us and we had a wunderfull time with Jerry and his friends. We were very thankfull about the warm welcome we got there :blush: It's such a shame that people who love the same things can quarrel about quite small things. The subjects on the forum are still very interesting and I hope that it will be like that for a long time :smiley:

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Argue? well call it what you will. I am not going to sacrifice my values to please a thief, nor will I allow "know it all's" that really are just shooting off at the mouth. And one of my faves there is such a genre as "traditional Cajun Music" I think it's funny that the one's I have the biggest disagreement are all hiding behind fictitious names. Most won't put videos of their skills on here and yet find it just to criticize the ones that do. Of all the non professional musicians on here I am one of the few that walks my talk.

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Jerry, I don't understand why some of us are making a big point of things here.
You're not the only one who love the traditional version of Cajun Music and many braves here do, including me.
The most important thing here is that we help eachother(lyrics/chords/buying an accordion) and learning from eachother (how to play a song with the help of vids/how to start/repairwork)
I wish that everybody bury the hatchett and smoke a pipe with the right tobacco and that we all start playing the Peace Man Two Step :smile: :smile: :smile:
Now the meds/drugs are gone, we are the threads ourself :wink:

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Fine but my name was brought up and I will respond. If you want to do what you just said, do it. You haven't posted anything constructive in a long time, that I can recall. I have answered to post here recently, one about jam songs, and the other about learning a new song. I didn't see you or anyone else contribute to the discussion. Don't come on here pointing fingers at me. While we are at it what have you contributed to the discussion that would be helpful? And agreeing with greasy isn't a good answer.

Jerry L Moody my real name:grimacing:

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

MysteryCajun101, are you elderly?

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

I haven't been here in quite a while.
But this obscession with Greezy is entertaining.
i once knew a pompous classically trained musician whose last name started with Mc-
and yes he is quite a good accordion player. And he knows his music theory quite well..
But these long tedious writings are, well tedious....
I rather just hear the music played..not dissected, lol
He won't reveal himself or intentionally post his playing until he is ready....he is that obnoxious and loves the attention.
But don't worry, Greezball....your secret is safe with me for now...

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Nope, CB, I'm not that guy. Never even came close to being classically trained in music. I'm just a smart guy, part of the latch key Cajun generation, that was left out in the cold to figure it out on my own. And that's exactly what I did. I'm not pompous nor conceited. Just trying to lay it down like it should have been laid down long time ago by my forefathers, and trying to tell it to people that really don't want to hear it, and perhaps can't handle the information. I wonder how many from this discussion will actually learn to play in "6" different playing positions on the Cajun accordion. I fear it will not take hold too quickly, lol. But hey, for those that were interested in knowing, its all been chronicled. As long as the bravenet is here, it is written in stone as far as I'm concerned. As long as I'm alive, there is a guy who can explain it, and physically show it to another. Maybe, I'll be able to personally pass it on to someone of the next generation of Cajun accordion players and it will be preserved. Point is, no one before tried to explain it, they weren't aware of it, they were aware of it, but wanted to keep it secret, or they didn't know how to teach it. That's all over now. The CAT IS OUT THE BAG!

Re: Greezy McGill Who Are You

Nope Cat Isn’t out the bag at all we still do not know who you are. You seriously maybe someone that don’t even play just have a good knowledge of the culture and and Cajun accordion theory we still don’t know. Please tell us who YOU ARE.
