Cajun Mardi Gras Song

Performed by Chris Miller-accordion. This traditional tune is a bit odd for Cajun accordion repertoire because it is in A minor. When I first heard this tune in my youth, it was never with a band...it was with solo accordion and/or voice. I provide a bit of stomping hear, there is usually a lot of that on the "Courir de Mardi Gras!" I always thought it had an odd sort of appeal--a quirky, haunting character...guess that really fits for Mardi Gras!

I really like this version. Good job. But why don't you play the beginning line that goes with "Les Mardis Gras ça vient de tout partout, Tout l'autour au tour du moyeu"?
