Well, here's the French version of Musieu Bainjo. My rendition is not nearly as smooth as Mark's.

What a great groove.

Thank you guys. For such a simple melody it took a little bit to figure out how to play it.

Alright! Nice to hear it in the original language.

The book ends with seven "French" songs (the last one being Musieu Bainjo) from "Good Hope" plantation, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.
