My version of "Big Mamou" *link is updated*

Post by Marty Broussard »

I played steel on a CD entitled Cajun Pickin (Lanor Records)back in the mid '90's and one of the tracks on there is the tune Big Mamou. Here's my attempt at providing the direct link to it. Hope it works and you enjoy it!!

Billy,
Thank you very much! I was in Denmark and France back in '06 doing some dates with Wayne Toups and Zona Jones respectively. Man, I LOVED it over there.

HINT: I'd really like to book some play dates over the pond again. LOL

Best regards,

Kenny,
To me, Robbie's playing has always been the benchmark on that tune(and several other Frenchie Burke tracks) I wore out those LP's when I was growing up. LOL Seriously, thank you for your kind comments. They are very much appreciated!

Marty, I have tried to watch the video but it says the bandwidth has run out. I am sure interested in hearing your playing.
