Im Coming Home - with Joseph Edward on drums

Joseph Edward, the drummer in this video passed away Aug 31, 2009. Here he is drumming for Thomas "Big Hat" Fields and his Footstompin' Zydeco Band. Joe was also the long time drummer for many years with Rockin' Dopsie Sr, and for the king of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier during Chenier's last few years performing. Clifton Chenier (with Joseph Edward on drums) performed this song which he wrote during Chenier's last performance at the Zydeco Festival in Plaisance, LA. There is a video of that show somewhere as well but I do not have a copy at this time.

Geneva Mouton vocals/bass, Joseph Edward drums, Curnis Andrus saxophone, Martin Guilbeau rubboard, Marty Christian guitar - footage is from Live Concert of Thomas "Big Hat" Fields and his Footstompin' Zydeco Band at the Octoberfest in Columbus, OH. Video by Charles Nathan Lewis.
