OK greg, you got me there.

I knew about Bois Sec Ardoin, but had forgotten his real first name, and I also have forgotten the name of his long-time partner, a white Cajun fiddler. I'm sure you can enlighten us!

Do we have recordings of any Cajun accordian players before Bois Sec? There is no doubt that he was importantly creative and original, but I wonder just how radically different he might have been, compared -- not to Parisian or Quebecois players -- but to his Cajun contemporaries and immeidate predecessors.
