The Dennis McGee
Fiddle Breakdown Series
Dennis was my hero and this collection includes over 20 of his greatest tunes, broken down for beginner and intermediate level fiddlers.
Dennis was the torchbearer of an older, pre-dancehall style of Cajun music; one that leads the listener to envision house parties, where all the furniture was carried out into the lawn and couples would dance jigs and reels and (scandalous, at the time) waltzes through the house until the dawn broke through the sticky Louisiana nights.
Marc Savoy said it best: “Languages have dictionaries. Cajun music had Dennis McGee.”
Tunes include: Adieu Rosa • Allons à Tasso • Cajun Reel • Chère Bébé Créole • Courville's Favorite • Cowboy Waltz • Danse Carré • DeVillier • Two-Step • Frugé's Reel • Happy One-Step • Jump Jim Crow • La Valse du Coteau Magnolia • Les Reels de Torchon • One-Step de McGee • Pa Janvier • Reel de Berzas • Reel de Coquin • Reel de DesHotels • Reel de Marcante • The Courville and McGee Waltz • The Waltz That Finished in the Corner of the House • Two-Step De La Ville Platte • Pascal's Zegrets • Pop's Waltz • Reel Perdue • The Wang Wang Blues
