On Blind Uncle Gaspard
I drove the two hour trip to the Avoyelles region in search of traces of Blind Uncle Gaspard and Delma Lachney. The recordings of Blind Uncle Gaspard had always been my favorite Louisiana recording due to their uniqueness and haunting, strange quality of sound. I was lucky to find some of the people who Blind Uncle had lived with and who had know Delma Lachney and from these interviews pieced together the lives of these two artists who had ended up recording together in the 1930’s, though they didn’t normally play music together.
