Nearly ten years ago Blair Douglas went to Louisiana and played Kate Martin's Waltz at Fred's Lounge in Mamou, in the heartland of Cajun music. The sound isn't great but a wonderful event anyway. Hope you like it.
I've been there myself a few times - it's a great place to spend a Saturday morning if you're in Louisiana, or else there's the Saturday morning Cajun music session at Marc Savoy's shop just outside Eunice...
real music , musicians who make their instruments sing. As Blair says Scotland needs to return to the good old days that I mind - spontaneous sessions are great . Being too precise and perfect doesn't work but now I'm deaf I can feel the vibrations so its all the same now .
Blair's music has always been able to move me to tears, he's an amazing musician. The width of his ability is astonishing.
Fantastic Blair 👏👏👏🪗

Waltz Kate Martin , tha an ceol beo , moran taing Blair sir😁
Sounds a lot like Cajun music in it's tone and flow ...I wonder if Blair purposely played a Cajun song , or if this was a Scottish song .
This is Blair's own composition, "Kate Martin's Waltz" played Cajun style on this occasion. He had also recorded a bluegrass version of the tune.
Who on earth doesn`t like this ?
How stupid to choose a „thumb down“!!! I can‘t understand it!!! What for???
