GUEST,greg stephens looking for celtic songs in French (34) RE: looking for celtic songs in French 06 Dec 04


Poppagator: Amadee Ardoin played with his white partner fiddler Denis McGee on a lot of records in the 20's. (Black and white musicians playing tgether was not unusual in cajun country, though less common elsewhere). Bois Sec Ardoin (who was black) was a more modern player, who only died recently.His sons are still active zydeco musicians.
    There are some fantastic recordings of early black French music, wondefrul stuff. The Lawtell Playboys kept the old style going for many years, but that style has largely given way to more modern zydeco now: Delton Broussard's and Bois Sec's sons are all zydeco players now, and have given up playing like there dads.
