  • I can not bring myself to finish the video part of the song. My wife succumbed to cancer 11 months ago on April 8, 2015. I see myself as the man sitting on the porch and hearing her telling me to get off my butt.

    I am so touched by the news of his passing.RIP Jo el Sonnier, so underrated as a musician , one of my all time favorites. I collected many of his CD’s over the years and to this day still listen to his music. My deepest condolences to his family. He will definitely be missed. I will be buying his new album when it comes out.😢

    RIP Jo-el. He passed last night after performing his last song “Tear Stained Letter” and receiving a standing ovation in Texas. After leaving the stage he had a massive heart attack. 1/13/24. You will be missed Jo-el.

    I’d forgotten how good this guy was and how I bought a few of his CD’s back in the 90’s. Amazed he wasn’t a bigger star in the States because let’s face it, as we British say “He’s bloody good!”

    Joe lived the words of his music. He lived the good life that south Louisiana can bring a man. Joe loved to crab and cook as well as play and sing. Almost every day during the Covid 19 shut down, Joe took his squeeze box out in the driveway of his home and sang us a song live streamed on Facebook. He truly was a blessing to everyone.

    I learned to play this for my oldest sister, she loved this song and wanted me to learn to play and sing it..we sat in the floor of her appartment in Ennis Texas for 4 hours one nite, listening to it over and over till I got it down....SHe passed away in 2006, and every time I hear this song I think of her and vise versa...

    I met him, the band, and his wife while on a cruise with my father, just before my dad died. They were the most gracious people, and what a good reflection of the Cajun music of Louisiana. I couldn't of had a better experience.... Jim from Baton Rouge.

    my late husband played guitar as a carnie and then some 50 years. when i married him i would come home and hear this song playing and him singing and he was not playing guitar although i loved it also and could play ALL of it on harmonica which i learned trying to stop smoking. and he was sick with chrones and died. but this was one of the songs i picked up to get him to use his arms when he lost 80 pounds in 3 months. anyway. it is always wonderful to me. i love cajun. i have canadian in me. thank you for posting. love CB

    Thanks for this.
    We went to my wife's sister and her husband's cottage in Cajun Country near Digby, and he liked the song so much, playing it on his boom box on the deck, blasting at full volume across Lac d'clair inside Metaghan, the lake like a mirror in the evening. that I left the CD with him. I never did replace it, but I know it got lots of play. Those days can never be reclaimed, but they'll never be forgotten either. Rest in peace brother.
