The absolute BEST who ever played the Diatonic

[@tilalalalalalalalala]

I could cry, oh man oh man, such an icon! That hat, those glasses, down to that white shirt and that stage presence and yes...that playing. All business, hard-driving, no frills. The king.

[@MarieL10]

Pure old time Cajun music is so rare now. It’s a shame young people don’t know about these old time players.

[@randallrougeau530]

I love the way Mr. ACE Aldus Roger plays his accordion in this song,, he is certainly in one of the the top 5 of the 10 pauvre vieux non-forgettable Cajuns I will always enjoy listening to. May God bless this slowly fading French speaking culture.

[@KingGene]

I am a Texan not Cajun but I can really appreciate this music. Love the accordion he was really great.

[@CajunTroubadours]

Keep 'em coming! Awesome. Great collection. What classic shows. I like Happy Fats in the beginning. Great job Bryan.

[@drrjim]

That guitar is worth about a million dollars now days.......

[@jlm12b]

Even though I have the full video and can watch it anytime I want, it is still exciting to see these clips on the net. Good job.

Yes, you can see the brand at 1:50 min. It's a Sterling.

[@cajunfid]

@Goethefemme Who do you think Paul learned it from ;-)

[@noncaldus]

@hajimaji Sterlings were made in Germany. The facory was destroyed during WWII.

[@hajimaji]

Any idea when that Sterling would have been made?

[@Goethefemme]

You all have to admit, Mr Paul Daigle does a good job on this, too.

[@johnnyven8306]

Willie cormier on bass

[@JessamynDoan]

What year would you say this recording was from? The late 80s?

[@senecacolbert6646]

Jessamyn J Doan i think the other video was shot on this same day and i think it said 1968 or 1972.anyway its old .thats why its strong 💪 pure cajuns,not watered down

[@CajunTroubadours]

Sterling? Of course.
