As 1928 wrapped up, Columbia planned to record one last time in New Orleans in late December. As Dewey and Eddie Segura were on a moonshine trip, they discovered the recording opportunity and arrived in time, with Dewey on accordion and Eddie on triangle, to record the "New Iberia Polka" (#40507).

@@LongNoseBreaker According to Columbia sessions notes, yes on the commercial releases, even though he's not credited on the 1929 session labels. There is some debate on the Lomax 1934 sessions where "Joe Segura" is credited.
Oh my God what is this delightful piece of visual and audio delight!???? It's delicious Cajun as I like it nice and funky! What I s this amazing footage? ( scratches included) Is it really a Polka? And where is this? I really love the way you put this together!! I love Cajun as u might remember. This is worth gold!
***** Hi Suzy , i know you like Cajun , and i have to admit i've neglected it too long . I don't think the girls are dancing a Polka ( you need a search for Isadora Duncan - very intresting personage from 100 years ago , she introduced and influenced much modern ballet ) . The footage is a lookalike style dancing . Don't know further information . It just sits there in archives , collecting dust . About the music . People can't imagine anymore how it was back in time , but American record companies sended representatives to local musicians in their local swamps ( literally ) to record their music , using primitive mobile record hardware . ( and nowadys you can listen it through a IPhone , isn't that amazing ). You can imagine i've enjoyed myself by putting this togheter , and i know you do too . Thanks .
