Dear Bill,

Your comments about Cajun music are right on the money.  I very much like
your temperament ideas.  I've analyzed some historical Cajun recordings and
have found the intervals on the accordions to resemble quarter comma
meantone in some cases and 31 equal in others.  Overall, quarter comma
seems to be god for accordion in the simpler keys, I think.  Any thoughts?

Regards,
Orlando
