Cajun fiddle (yeah, I know it's not ITM, but...)

Hi there,

I wondered if any of you guys played other stuff apart from folk, cause if so, you might be a great help! I'm looking for a tune that's apparently called "cajun fiddle" (might be wrong though). You can hear it played by 7year old Amanda Watson on youtube. I really like this tune, don't ask me why, and I've been searching for sheet music but can't find it (might be because the title is wrong ;-) )
If anyone knows what it's really called and/or can tell me where to find it, I'd really appreciate!
Will, of course, keep playing ITM ;-)

Yeah, she is. My mouth actually dropped open when she started.

Thanks for the links, I'll save the list and hope I'm able to get a couple of those CDs here in Germany. It's a pity that such things are hard to come across here, maybe I should emigrate to the US...

Thanks again ceolachan :-)

With a name like redhead I expected more posts, especially from Phantom Button.

Why not play cajun, Gerry O'Connor is doing well on it.

Has anyone seen "Schultze Gets the Blues"? Great film...about a traditional musician, actually, and Zydeco.

anna:
that would be great, thanks! My email:

theprancingmumak@googlemail.com

I hope the thing's easy to play, as I consider myself still at beginner's level. I'd just like to try out different tunes apart from irish music (which I love), though I still haven't mastered the dratted Musical Priest, which annoys me big time (not the tune - I mean the fact that I can't play it well ;-) )

bodhran bliss:

I suppose Phantom Button might have checked out my member's details and found out that the redhead is no longer that, but brunette...

Thanks, everyone!

Oh! She's ADORABLE!

Here she is at 14, and if you can believe it, even more enchanting:
