In honor of Mardi-Gras and the powerful, dynamic music of Cajun Louisiana, here’s an old-time two step which has been widely played and widely recorded, starting with Dennis McGee and Sadie Courville. It goes by a number of names, including “Enterres-moi pas” (“Don’t Bury Me”) and “Tréville n’est pas pêcheur” (“Tréville isn’t a fisherman”) and has had various and unrelated song verses associated with it. There are as many versions as there are fiddlers and accordionists playing this tune, so plan on making up your own!
