Cajun Steel Course----FREE

Marty Broussard · Post by **Marty Broussard** » 28 Dec 2010 5:24 am

During the 90's I offered a Cajun Style Steel Course for the E9th. I found it in an old stack and asked my son to add it to my website. I will try to find the audio that pertains to it and have him upload it. Meanwhile, if you can find a CD entitled Cajun Pickin(originally on Lanor Record label) you can hear all of the songs that the course was based upon.

The link is: http://www.martybroussard.net/Works%20& ... ged[1].pdf

Hope it helps someone.

Marty,

You are very generous to make this information available to the forum. Raised in Texas, next door to a family from Cameron Louisiana, I was exposed to Cajun music early. I always loved the energy and in your face style of the music and the players of the style. I'll be looking for the record or tape that goes with this book...

Thank you very much,
Dick Sexton...

Dick, thanks for the comments. I hope it helps somebody.

BTW, I remembered today that the course included soundtraks.(complete songs w/o steel)

I don't think that Cajun music soundtraks are very common so if there is enough interest I could try to find them.

My best.....

Hey Marty ,

thanks for sharing .... here's another word of encouragement to find the record/disc in question 'cause I can't see myself finding a copy down here near the bottom of Aus!!

Jay, I found the tracks, but I have some issues.

-they are on cassette so I need to convert
them

-my son has traditionally worked on the site
and he's having problems with the new
look/feel of the control panel the
webhost has changed to so we would
struggle to upload the tracks once I
converted them

-I'm considering changing hosts but that would
be painful.

I hope to resolve all of the issues during my Christmas vacation.

Best regards
