thanks everyone for your recent posts of the videos, they were awesome. Its time for a new tune of the Month.

Ted has picked the waltz, Chere Joue Roses. Austin Pitre, and The Balfa Brothers play my favorite versions of this song. I really like Austin Pitre's though. Post them videos when you can!!

	tcadien says: 10/16/2012 11:42:07 AM Ted, Austin's tune is called pretty rosy cheeks
	tcadien says: 10/23/2012 7:24:33 PM Sorry it took so long! I forgot about tune of the month for a while..... Ted, you are right Austin's tune titled Chere Joue Rose is the tune valse de bambocheur, but he also has a tune titled Pretty Rosy Cheeks that is in fact the tune we are attempting to play. I did my version with 1 go of the B part just like Austin.
	Ted says: 10/23/2012 7:54:21 PM Excellent, what record is "pretty rosey cheeks" on? I just have his Opelousas Waltz CD I think
	tcadien says: 10/24/2012 8:42:13 AM Um I think the album I have is a collection of all his recordings with the Evangeline Playboys. I got it from Floyd's in ville platte. It is one of swallow records pioneer series. They also have those pioneer albums for Joe Bonsall, Adam Hebert, and others
	Loup says: 12/12/2012 8:33:28 PM Very nice.Played like a bambocheur.
	Loup says: 12/16/2012 11:43:32 PM I should have mentioned in my previous comment,the French meaning of bambocheur.A person who likes living and having a good time. I have the tune on a cd as "Jolie Joues Rose"
