Kajun 502.  Gabriel Waltz (2:10) / Mardi-Gras Song (2:17).  Nathan wrote and sang the vocal on the A-side.  The B-side was written and sung by Dewey Balfa, who was a member of Abshire's Pinegrove Playboys band at the time.  Not sure of a release date here, complicated by the fact that Kajun 503 featured the same A-side without Dewey's vocal on the flip.  Kajun 503 featured Abshire's signature tune, "Pinegrove Blues" which he first recorded in 1949, as the B-side.  The session that produced these two sides was held in 1961.  The vinyl looks and plays a strong VG+.  Labels clean.  Generic sleeve.  See scans for more detail.  Matrix numbers written in the dead wax match those printed at the bottom of the label.
