Paris Musette

Spalo

An interesting documentary about the history of Musette (in French) - some great music!

Also some footage of a what looks like an old right-handed Selmac being played left-handed!

There is a BBC version of this film that is a bit longer and has good subtitles. It's an excellent documentary about this wonderful style of music. The left-handed guitarist playing the Selmer is the late, legendary Didi Duprat, one of the best rhythm guitarists ever. His chords were always sophisticated and perfect for the moment, and he had the best "leger et sec" sound ever.
