Oliver, please create a Cajun/Zydeco style with the following instruments:

Accordion (lead soloist) and background.
Concertina Button Box (lead soloist) and background.
Cajun Fiddle ala Don Rich' "Cajun Fiddle" with bow-rocking.
Cajun Fiddle ala Doug Kershaw (wild and wooly bowing) soloist.
Acoustic Guitar Strumming
Acoustic Guitar Finger Picking (Soloist)
Hand Drum (Bodrahn)
Mandolin Soloist
Mandolin Rhythm (chops)

+1 yes please.

We like this idea, too!

Since Oliver is still in the oothoos, eh, I recorded a Cajun Sampler for Oliver but need a reading on Fair Use - Educational Purposes, before posting the link.

Here's US Copyright Law on Fair Use, likely different in Canada. What do you friends think? Is it okay to post a song for Educational Purposes? (Educating Oliver) How about a 30 second extract?

Noticed, in recording this Cajun Sampler, two other prominent instruments in Cajun Music, an upright bass (possibly a homemade washtub bass) and a PSG being plucked with 16th notes.

This is getting complicated. Leave it to me to complicate stuff.

Summary: It's definitely Fun music that Peter would approve. Picture a bunch of French-Canadians after blowing the foam off of a few "Blue" and eating their fill of Bayou Shrimp (Crawdads), Bubba!

A slow Cajun Waltz is an absolutely beautiful thing by anyone's reckoning, says me wee Irish self.

"Lover's Waltz" in this playlist is almost exactly what I want/need, Oliver, please?

+1 this would get a lot of use with me too!

About the only thing that I could add to Don's posting would be a washboard. BIAB 2015 has two (2) Zydeco styles, but no RT's to go with them. Think 165 bpm.

+1 on washboard, Ray.

I was thinking more in terms of melody instruments but rhythm instruments are welcome too.
