Dear gnu,

Last summer I saw a KILLER Cajun band from New Brunswick (or Nova Scotia).

Anyway, there was a player in that band who was a virtual TORNADO on the accordion.

The band's name was "BEAU" I believe, and I highly recommend their live performance or recordings to any music lover. It's pretty far fetched compared to commercial pop, but then again isn't that why we are all here?

If you want to learn by ear a fun and hip style, check out their Zydeco-power zaniness.

They play in New Orleans and were headed for Paris the following week but are full fledged Canucks.

Of course, some basic accordion fundamentals from CarolC and company would be real helpful.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
