Marblehead Posted October 3, 2018 I always did like Homer & Jethro. I have only one of their albums in my collection. No, we're not done with Cajun music yet. But, as I was talking about fiddles, here is a great Cajun Fiddler: Spoiler 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one is listening. And this guy is considered by some to be the father of the Cajun fiddle: Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted October 6, 2018 Okay. Two more artists before I stop presenting Cajun music. First, the most popular traditional Cajun French musicians: Spoiler The other being Nathan Abshire. What he did for Cajun music wasn't really recognized until after he had died. Basically he is responsible for making the accordion a lead instrument in Cajun music along with the fiddle.

Digital never really lived up to its hyped expectation, imho. Something that has contributed greatly ... again, imho ... is the decline in musicianship. Until there is a renaissance in musicianship, there won't be a need for quality vinyl recordings ... or a need to have digital live up to potential. Just sayin. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted October 6, 2018 Good Honky Tonk (crying in your beer) music. I don't know Jake and have none of his music but I do have lots of Honky Tonk in three different categories of my collections. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted October 6, 2018 Well, you did it again. Another artist I had never heard of. Florida doesn't play much Texas Country music. And I don't listen to the radio anyhow. I like both those songs. Good music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
