Cajun Steel Course on my website---FREE

Post by Marty Broussard »

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.

Hey Marty, thanks for posting this. I love Cajun music, grew up on it, my mom's from Breaux Bridge and we lived in West Lake when I was little and I worked out of Lafayette when I was in my 20's. Best food and music in the world!

That's very generous of you, Marty. Thanks.

The CD appears to be available through Amazon resellers at very inexpensive prices.

Hey guys, I hope someone benefits from it. Personally, I am convinced that there are some bluegrass dobro players that can "spank" some Cajun stuff. I keep hoping to hear one of them in my lifetime....maybe I'll hear it at a bluegrass or folk festival somewhere.

Brad, please pass the information along on the appropriate Reso sites and tell the players out there to send me samples of their playing.....I love that stuff.

Have a good one,
Marty B.
