Sugar Bee – LeRoi Brothers

admin — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 06:23:26 +0000

LeRoi Brothers doing an excellent cover of Sugar Bee. Steve Doerr’s vocals are instantly recognizable, like Dylan or Springsteen. Just another overlooked and underappreciate American Musical Icon.
Enough editorializing, about the video: I overlooked obvious cues when recording and missed some of Eve’s guitar runs but it sounds pretty good overall.

Now for some obscure history about the song: Cleveland Crochet was the fiddle player and bandleader of The Hillbilly Ramblers, a Cajun band whose 1961 song, “Sugar Bee,” became the first Cajun song to reach the “Billboard Hot 100″, Cleveland Crochet has never been financially compensated for the tune. “I didn’t get anything out of it,” Crochet said by telephone from his home in Iowa, Louisiana. “Eddie Schuler (owner of the Gold Band record label) stole the copyright.” The son of a Cajun musician, Crochet built his first fiddle out of a cigar box at the age of twelve. Although he continued to earn his living as an iron worker, until his retirement in 1970, Crochet became a regular at Cajun dances throughout eastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana. Together with the Hillbilly Ramblers, which he formed in the 1950s, Crochet played every Saturday night at the Shamrock and Moulin Rouge dance clubs in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Since his retirement, Crochet has limited his playing to informal jam sessions. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide

Charles Thibodeaux Live at Evangeline Cafe in South Austin

admin — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 05:14:03 +0000

Only in Texas. Austin, Texas to be exact.
Charles Thibodeaux,
Cajun accordionist
Steve Doerr,Guitar
Howard Kalish,Fiddle

Charles was raised in a traditional Cajun family household in Beaumont, Texas. His parents were Church Point, Louisiana natives and for their wedding celebration and dance, Iry LeJeune provided the entertainment. His parents spoke French around the house when they didn’t want the kids to understand what they were saying but the kids understood it anyway.

Charles’s late cousin, Joe Thibodeaux, owned the Rodair Club in Port Acres Texas. During his youth, he visited the legendary club on a regular basis and was influenced to play the Cajun accordion by watching Andrew Cormier and The Rambling Aces band which included Rodney LeJeune, Dallas Roy and many other famous Cajun musicians.

At age 16, a friend gave him a used accordion that had a couple of keys missing. It had tape over the holes and reeds that wouldn’t play. After saving up his money, he bought an inexpensive Hohner but got side tracked away from his music for many years. While visiting an uncle in Church Point in the early 90′s, Charles mentioned that he was shopping for an accordion. His uncle walked him through the pasture, and over to the house next door and Charles bought a Pointe Noir in the key of C from the famous accordion builder, Dick Richard. He also plays 2 Martin accordions in the keys of D and B flat.

Charles formed a traditional Cajun Band in the Spring of 2004 for a group of Mardi Gras enthusiasts and they have since, thrilled audiences throughout the State of Texas and they continue to Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler—Let the Good Times Roll in Austin!
