The accordion is the centerpiece of Cajun music. Along with fiddles and guitars, it drives the rhythm that defines the sound of Cajun culture. According to Marc Savoy, if you're not dancing when you hear Cajun music then you should check into the morgue, because "you're dead and forgot to fall." That energy in music and lifestyle has kept Marc building accordions for forty-five years. He's refined his craft over the years and now he shares his knowledge with
Handmade Music. The accordion makes music only when air passes through it, and this episode focuses on the many points of entry and escape on the bass side and the treble side of the accordion.
