Varise Connor (Violin), Lionel Leleux (Violin), Don Montoucet (Accordion)

0:00 - 'La valse du soûlard'; getting Varise a couple of drinks; 'Westphalia Waltz'; talking/taking photos

6:29 - 'Down South'. Learned it from Hubert Fontenot on fiddle about 4 years ago
-Heard others play it. Not old, not new either. Heard jazz bands play that same melody; tuning guitar

10:38 - 'Grand Basile in D'; 'Perrodin Two-Step' (learned it from one of his uncles who played accordion; Hayes)

16:53 - 'The Rabbit Stole the Pumpkin' (Two-Step à Bascom Mouton). "It takes a lot of steam to fire up a rusty boiler." - Varise
-Varise not content with the way he's playing; Varise knew Bascom Mouton in his prime, 1924/25

19:48 - 'J'ai été au bal'. "That's one Leleux can really play well" - Varise
-Bascom played songs like "The Rabbit Stole the Pumpkin," "Sabine Blues," and "You'd Better See Your Mama Every Night."
-He had the highest voice of anyone Varise had ever heard; noodling around with "In The Mood"

23:08 - 'Sabine Blues'; Bascom played that song, but so did Jazz bands
-He didn't have much of a band, just one guitar and two fiddles
-His guitar player was his brother-in-law for sure, maybe the other fiddler was his wife's cousin
-Both were Thibodeauxs. Bascom also played the kazoo and make it sound like a trumpet

26:53 - 'You'd Better See Your Mama Every Night in D'

27:15 - in G; not supposed to be played very fast, like blues. Sung in English
-"You don't see your mama every night, treat her right, you won't have no mama at all."
-Varise played this song with his brothers, "they could rock and roll on that."

30:54 - 'St. Louis Blues'
