Tune of the Week for May 14, 2012<\/span><\/p>\n

How ’bout a Cajun waltz?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Varise Conner (1906-1994) should be better known than he is. He quit playing for dances in the 1930s in favor of more intimate sessions with friends, like Lionel Leleux<\/a>. The first album dedicated to his music was not issued until ten years after his death. And what a dandy it is! The CD is made from field recordings by folklorist Barry Ancelet in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

This lovely waltz was recorded in 1938 by J.B. Fusilier & his Merrymakers, a band that at one time included Varise Conner. This is one of two tunes that Fusilier named for his wives. The other is the better known Ch\u00e8re Bassette.<\/p>\n
