Blind Uncle Gaspard
About Blind Uncle Gaspard
A blind vocalist and guitarist from Louisiana, Alcide "Blind Uncle" Gaspard alternated between string-band music (in a band with his brothers) and traditional Cajun balladry on his recordings for Vocalion. Born in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, in 1880, Gaspard formed his first band with his brothers Victor and Amade. When he began recording in the late 1920s though, it was as a backing guitarist for fiddler Delma Lachney. He also recorded on his own at the same sessions.
