The version you're playing in key of C probably sounds close to the Bayou Teche Special, recorded on the Balfa Toujours CD "La Pointe." The turn is different in those two songs, but the tune is pretty close. I don't know any reason you couldn't play it in either key. I recently heard Jesse Lege play Chopique Two Step in F, instead of G. The different blends you can get in F really change up the song.
The only version of The Eunice Two-Step that I have ever heard, is the version recorded by Iry. It's been re-recorded by many artist after that.
the song was played in the second position ( key of "G" on a "C" accordion). When someone names " The Eunice Two-Step", that's the song I relate it to.

Cool, I love Maurice Berzas stuff. My grandfather played fiddle with him (Roy Fontenot) and can be heard singing on a couple of their songs. They did a good version of Valse de Meche that is in Ye Yaille and he also sang on Lake Charles Playboy Special. Cool to see other people like their music
I got to see Maurice once at the Jazz Festival in New Orleans and have to say that he never got the recognitation he deserved. He was truly a great performer
For anyone with the Cajun's Greatest - The Definitive Iry LeJeune Collection cd, Eddie Shuler called it Jolie Catin on the record, but it's the same song and a great recording!!
