hey peer! I read somewhere that cajun polkas aren't "really" polkas, but that is more like a scottish. From what I read, "scottish" was introduced in england and france under the name of "german polkas". But, the french and german relationships weren't very good, so french renamed this "german polka" as a scottish. From my idea, the cajuns could have kept the name polka for scottish,maybe because cajuns have had many contact with germans in Louisiana.do you know something about that?

Well Im sure there is someone, but Im sort of a self learner, I have played various other instruments in my time and learned how to play them myself. I dont know anyone personally and I dont like the idea of going out and find a stranger to teach me. Im just werd like that I guess :-/

Saoirse fails at simple melodeon tuneby bombina3,635 views
I don't have a clue!
The only thing I know is that this tune is not a scottische either. I have heard a lot of scottisches in France, and they have a totally different rhythm. This Cajun "polka"has the same rhythm as a Cajun blues, but a different kind of melody. It's just a name. Cajun mazurkas are also completely differnet from "real"mazurkas. But, who cares?

Hey, Peer! Enjoyed this! I forgot about this tune! I love these old polkas/schottiches. Hardly anyone around here plays them anymore. Glad you also enjoyed my vids. Keep pullin'!
