Thanks, Doug. Maxime was playing during the program, although it had Ti-Jean recordings too. ("Ti" is "little' [petit] for anyone without French.)

"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
