clickety click: Blues du Soulard © artspurg SABAM 2007-2018, trad adapted and arranged

A traditional reworked Cajun song, with added B-part, started as BIAB melody leadsheet print file for fiddle someone asked me to make, ... and then, and then, and then ... having fun with RTs moving in, and alas out again, sorry PG. One big mixie mess resulted, no RTs any more, only few piano licks from a BIAB pianosupertrack stayed partly alive.

Lyrics:

Blues du Soulard

Quand le blues me prend,
Il faut que j’m’en aillez
J’suis parti m’saouler
Comm’ j’suis saoul, bébé,
Je rentr’ à la maison
Pour voir ma chèr t-i-t’ fill’

Quand j’arriv’ à la maison,
La femm’ est en train d’crier,
J’ai d’mandé pourqoi tu cries,
Ell’ me répond mon nègr’
C’est pour ça que je crie,
De t’voir tout l’temps parti

Oh, bébé, mais moi,
Il faut que j’m’en aillez,
Faut que j’retourn’ m’ saouler,
Quand je pars, tu sais,
Que j’reviens toujours,
Au revoir ma chèr’ catin.

"fiddler2007"...

Oh, but hands will be clapping, couples will be swirling over the dance floor, and high times will be had by all wherever "Blues du Solard" is playing!

Everything sounds good about this song: the bouncing bass line, the song of the sweet & bluesy violin melody, the happy accordion chords, and the warm-hearted, celebratory crooning of your voice.

I imagine that this is the kind of music my mother would have been familiar with, as she was born in New Iberia, Louisiana in 1922.

"Blues du Solard" was a lot of fun to listen to, "fiddler2007"!

Sincerely,

LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

What a tune! Really a fan of this. It has tons of texture, and I love how bouncy and playful it is. Definitely nailed the cajun vibe on this one. Really dancey too - this'd fill a dancefloor in a heartbeat.

You did a great job here - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Nice! It's cool to have a cajun song posted here.

You captured the feel very well and we enjoyed the listen.

Hello Fiddler,

A "true" cajon song - yeah! What a treat! I really enjoyed my listen. I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri and there's a neighborhood just south of the downtown district called "Soulard". Yes, it was settled by French folks many years back and still retains the culturer - great open air markets in the summer!

Nicely done. Merci beaucoup!

Alan

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
