Down Home Cajun Music- Joe & Cleoma Falcon 1936-1937 Part OneBy 1936, Joe and Cleoma's group consisted of themselves and family friend Moise Morgan playing the fiddle. They recorded two sessions in 1936 and another two in 1937. Their original songs were losing popularity and they felt the pressure to release more music, including popular radio tunes. Their last recording session was December 15, 1937. Instead of Morgan on fiddle, they brought along Cleoma's brother Clifford for the session. It seems by 1937, they were done, they were tired of the recording buisness and had enough work to keep them busy locally. They husband and wife duo were the first to record in 1928 and had kept busy recording for almost ten years.You Are Hard To Please (Decca 17019) 1936I Can't Do It Without You (Decca 17019) 1936Le Nouveau Lafayette (New Lafayette) (Decca 17025) 1937La Nuit De Samedi (Saturday Night Waltz) (Decca 17025) 1937Bonnie Blue Eyes (Decca 17034) 1937C'Est Tard Et Le Temps Partir (Its Late and Time to Go) (Decca 17034) 1937Louisiana Special (Decca 17038) 1937Je Serais Vrai A Quelqu' un' J'Aime (Decca 17038) 1937*All selections from the orginal 78 rpm records.
