Great photo and story. I’d forgotten Rockin’ Dopsie played #accordion left handed and upside-down

#ZydecoSomething fun and full of pep:
“French Rockin’ Boogie” by Geno Delafose.
I like the way Delafose shouts out instructions to his band mates.

Be interesting to know if it’s just availability, or cost or style?Some of the nicest one-row so called #Cajun accordions have been custom built in #Louisiana over the years
Not so, larger three-rows, or fully chromatic piano #accordion like Clifton Chénier played that made it possible to mix in blues and R&B to create #zydeco
Early one-row 🪗 couldn’t play #blues easily so it got left out of most Black American music 🤷🏽
#Zydeco is the exception with backstory

🪗 didact 2:And I think Boozoo Chavez was mostly known for playing three-row diatonic #accordion, not the one-row that became more popular with younger #Creole #zydeco players

Also, that “My favourite recording of Clifton Chenier’s is the one from Berkeley in 1966” story may have been from Michael TisserandHe wrote the great Kingdom of Zydeco, still one of the best books about the music

My friend Jared Snyder researched the lost English-speaking African American square-dance #accordion tradition that Lead Belly sprang from (it was LB’s first instrument)Chenier’s Berkeley recording is Jared’s favourite because you can hear his left hand playing those blues base lines
Pretty much all his later recordings he got a band with bass guitar together
On that one it’s just Clifton, his brother Cleveland on rubboard and a drummer

@tuftyindigo
That’s a very important recording because it’s Chenier’s first performance in front of a white kind of college folk/blues revival audienceIf you listen to it, imagine if somebody had played #zydeco #blues #accordion like that (as Clifton had been doing since the 1950s) on national TV like Ed Sullivan with The Beatles
Millions of kids taking accordion lessons at the time might have made the world a different place

@tuftyindigo
I think Chenier probably had piezoelectric mic internally mounted inside his #accordion at timesThat was kind of top-of-the-line Accordion amplification for a long time
Accordion ended up about 40 years behind the guitar in amplification by the 1970s. And has never caught up
You can most clearly hear the technology in the recording at Berkeley from 1966 because he’s performing just with his brother on rubboard and a drummer

Glimmer Twins nepřispívají na tribute alba. V případě pocty #Zydeco akordeonistovi #CliftonChenier Mick Jagger odložil svoji pařížskou fráninu a udělal si domácí úkol. V písni "Zydeco Sont Pas Salés“ zpívá dokonalou kreolskou francouzštinou z poloviny století.
Jagger se poprvé dostal na Chenierův koncert v tělocvičně střední školy v LA v roce 1978: "Vzpomínám si, že si Clifton myslel, že jsem z časopisu Rolling Stone."

Just saw that the historic Grant Street Music Hall in #Lafayette Louisiana, housed in an old Fruit Warehouse built circa 1898 has found new ownership, and is still offering live #LousianaMusic , ranging from blues & #zydeco , country as well as contemporary #HipHop and other entertainment. There's street #foodtrucks outside for the hungry late night crowd, and a new owner promising more security to curb the occasional fist fights and parking lot violence... What's not till like?

Nový kousek na prvním fleku spotify playlistu #VelkýSummitPlaylist. Skutečný hybrid rocku, blues, R&B, second-line funku, cajunu a zydeca, který dokážou tak skvěle zahrát jen Michael Doucet a skupina Beausoleil.
Jejich medley Bayou Cadillac je killer.

Archivní klenot z cernejpudink.cz: Představujeme vám krále hudebního stylu zydeco Cliftona Cheniera. Narodil se před 100 lety. Z akordeonu vydoloval zvuk Louisiany – od ropných polí po Grammy. Příběh odvahy a nezdolného ducha, který stále rezonuje.

Some friends from out-of-town wanted to see this band at Woodhouse Brewery in Santa Cruz last night.. They are T Marie & Bayou Juju and they totally slayed. I had so much fun!

Tonight’s episode of @accordionnoir radio will praise the protesters in #LosAngeles standing up (with an occasional #accordion) against abuses of power 🪧
Also #Zydeco rubboard master Cleveland Chenier’s birthday — the day before mine

Pretty sure Woody’s recordings are mostly over on Smithsonian/Folkways,(for now)Some at the Library of Congress issued by Electra/Rounder in the 90s and are streaming but the extensive notes are missing 😤
#Folkways keeps the old Arhoolie Records albums available — including tons of #zydeco #conjunto & #cajun #accordion because unlike the rest of the US folk revival, Austrian-born Chris Strachwitz was not afraid of the squeezebox

It’s #Blues man Muddy Waters birthday today, April 4 (1913-ish) and to celebrate him starting off on harmonica and a “broken down #accordion” this week’s episode of @accordionnoir radio is a tangle of different squeezebox blues styles
From Muddy Waters himself (with #GarthHudson of The Band on 🪗) to #CountryMusic #Klezmer #CajunMusic #Zydeco #Bluegrass and #Jazz
With the world as it is, a little blues seemed like the thing to do
