A Cajun Christmas
Because I had asked for (and received) a Cajun style ten button diatonic accordion for Christmas, my wife's family asked her great uncle, Andrew, to bring along his accordion to show me how it was done. Come to find out, Andrew Jagneaux is a much respected Cajun accordion maker and player. He liked my brand new Hohner good enough, but he thought it was tight and the thumb strap was too small for him. So we fetched his hand-made accordion from his truck and he entertained the family for about a half-hour. He dispensed advice to me as an aspiring accordion player, "You've got to play with your heart and your soul, and you've got to practice every day."
Here he plays "the much requested" Jolie Blonde.
