Dewey Balfa - Jai Ete Au Bal - Awesome Fiddlesticks
Loading...
Uploaded by SCRAMBLER390 on Feb 2, 2008
Clip is taken from Yasha Aginsky's documentary "Les Blues de Balfa". It is an AWESOME film I would HIGHLY recommend. Dewey Balfa and his nephew Todd Balfa preforming Jai Ete Au Bal (I Went To The Dance). They preform this song using the Fiddle Sticks method. I believe this speaks for itself.

perdez pas vos racines vous autres. les français vous ont pas oubliés. Napoléon vous a vendus aux américains, c'est pas notre faute.
Don't lose your roots. French people will never forget you. Napoleon sold you to americans , it's not our fault.

@TheGazzernator I am most certainly not taking the piss (and curious how you got that out of my post, lol). I bow down to players like this. As for my fiddle player, you can check our youtube channel if you like, particularly the bones and spoons ones if you like the hand percussion stuff. We have now added a variation of "Ja'i ete au bal" with fiddlesticks (I use fat plastic knitting needles) to our set, but it's not on youtube yet. Cheers!
(Just search "talktofiddlestix" on here).

Bloody brilliant. That deserves nothing but respect from a wee Scot who can only tinkle on the piano. My Dad always said I should learn the accordion, my twin brother should learn the bagpipes & my older brother & sister already learnt the violin & viola, so we could form a quartet. After listening to this I think maybe we should give it a go!

Fiddlesticks? I love it ... thanks for sharing this ... two musicians, one instrument ... all you need.

I am Acadian. I play guitar, spoons, bones, drum, and sing in a duo called "FiddleStix." I'm going to teach myself how to do this with my fiddle partner and add it to my repertoire in honor of my Cajun cuzzins. It's amazing!
