BluesBox Cajun Pinegrove Blues

A rare video of Balfa Toujours, with Dirk Powell playing the BluesBox pitch bending accordion, Kevin Wimmer on fiddle, Christine Balfa on guitar, and Ganey Arsemont on bass. This unrehearsed video is the first stage appearance of the BluesBox, at the Strawberry Park Cajun and Zydeco festival, in Preston, CT., June 1998, using an early prototype of the instrument with a keyboard that has been largely improved to be more controllable by the musician. Thanks to the cameraman, Rik Kaplan, who had little opportunity to plan the shots and maneuver. More info on the BluesBox at www.bluesbox.biz. Enjoy.
