Down Home Cajun Music- Percy Babineaux and Bixy GuidryThe recordings of Percy Babineaux and Bixy Guidry are a treasure, but somewhat lost in time. The duo's recordings are among the most obscure Cajun recordings from 1929. They recorded in New Orleans in 1929 for Victor, and their last recording was issued on Bluebird in the early 1940's. Their haunting recordings are overshadowed by other artists of the time, sadly. Of special note, their recording of "J'vai Jouer Pour Toi"  was the original version of "J'Ai Ete au Bal". Also their  "Vien A La Maison Avec Moi" became what is known as the "Kaplan Waltz".  Their recordings can be found on the Tompkins Square cd- "Let Me Play this for You".1.
