About Dennis McGee

  • Dennis (Denus) McGee (born January 26, 1893, Eunice, Louisiana, USA – October 3, 1989) was one of the earliest recorded Cajun musicians. A fiddle player, he recorded and performed with Creole accordionist and vocalist AmĂ©dĂ© Ardoin, with accordionist Angelas LeJeune, and with fiddlers Sady Courville and Ernest FrugĂ©.
  • The recordings with Courville and FrugĂ© are among the few surviving examples of Cajun music as it existed before the influence of the accordion became prominent. McGee's repertoire included not only the waltz and the two-step common to Cajun music but also such dances as the one-step, polka, mazurka, reel, cotillion, the varsovienne, and others.
