Octa Clark - Johnny Can't Dance

[gdclark2]

@Kewl, I would have to respectively disagree about this being more of a Creole/Zydeco standard, it was a Cajun song long before Zydeco was only regarded as a string bean.

[kizilbasi]

Kewl. This is a creole/zydeco standard more than a cajun standard really.

C'est vraiment très beau. Je ne me lasse jamais de cette musique.

This is awesome, thank you for posting it!

It's an old Creole brand accordion if I remember correctly.

What make of accordion are you playing and what key is it in?

I just downloaded your album with Hector and love it, Especially your version of Cajun Hot Shoes. I hope to play it half as good someday. Hard to do on an Arriette.

Octa died in the 90's. I think that may be an Acadian accordion, or at least it sounds like it to my ears. I could be wrong
