Cajun Square Neck Dobro teacher in Louisiana

[Joe Burke]

I'll be in New Orleans and Eunice, Louisiana, for a week starting Jan 24. Anyone know or a teacher that specializes in Cajun? It would be fun to take a lesson while I'm there.

Thanks!

Martin Accordions in Lafayette, La. I'm sure Junior Martin could probably help you. You would love his shop!
Cheers

Oh and Savoie Music in Eunice. I'm not far from either one of these.!

[Joe Burke]

Thanks Dale - I will certainly drop into Martin Accordions in Lafayette!

Jr. was a very nice guy. He uses G tuning.

A picture from my visit to Martin Accordions with Carroll and Anita Benoit a few years back. I'm playing one of my Benoit Resonators. Junior Martin is on steel. Carroll Benoit is playing acoustic guitar and I regret that I can't now recall the names of the other two individuals.

Stopped in at Martin Accodions today. Great place, and very friendly! I’ve got a Cajun dobro lesson set up for Sunday.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Remember me to Junior! I think it was 2011 when I went there with the Benoits.

Bob - that’s Pennye Huval on bass. She was at the shop. Lovely. A real ambassador.

[Bob Blair]

Pennye, right! She was great. She showed me how she was replacing all the reeds in one of their diatonic accordions for a customer who wanted to change keys. Junior's grandson Joel came in for awhile and performed for a bit - great accordionist and singer.

Will you please suggest that there is an eager audience for Cajun steel lessons and for instance, I would buy a DVD even if it is homemade and rough
