Al Berard Teaches... Cajun Fiddle Basics Produced for Al Berard by Tom Gath and Susi Mills of Bayou Highway Productions. With this DVD you can learn from one of the masters as you watch, listen and play along. In this menu driven instructional DVD, Al Berard teaches the basics of tuning, bowing, melody and seconding for two complete Cajun songs, "The Acadian Two Step" and "The Eunice Waltz". Al Berard Teaches... Cajun Fiddle Basics was recently reviewed in "Cajun Life and Times" magazine.

This CD was recorded in Leo's living room with his lifelong friend Alan Touchete, playing accordian and Tommy Gath on guitar. Bayou Highway Productions recorded this CD to capture the beautiful music that these two men make together at house parties and jam sessions. Alan and Leo do not perform together and we hoped to document their sound.

Bayou Highway Productions produced this website for Leo Abshire, a self-taught master fiddle player and is also a master fiddle maker. Leo started playing fiddle when he was seven years old. Coming from a musically talented family that includes his late cousin, the famous accordion player Nathan Abshire, and accordion player Ray Abshire, Leo likes to play traditional Cajun French music.
