LAFAYETTE PLAYBOYS' WALTZ. Cajun, Waltz. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Many Cajun and Texas bands have called themselves the Playboys, although this title refers to Cajun accordionist Aldus Roger's (1915-1999) Lafayette (Louisiana) Playboys.

His main influences were his father, Francis, and the famous Cajun musician Lawrence Walker. Roger had hits with a cover version of Hank Williams "Jambalaya" and "Lafayette Two-Step," and recorded the "KLFY Waltz," "Channel 10 Two Step," "Mardi Gras Dance," among others (he hosted his own music program on KLFY-TV 10, out of Lafayette).
