Artist Biography For Delma Lachney
The Music Of Louisiana Musicians Delma Lachney & Blind Uncle Gaspard Represents An Older Tradition Of Dance Music And Ballad Songs From The Cajun Tradition That Precedes The Popular Cajun Styles Recorded In The 1930′s And Beyond. The Two Were Born Around Avoyelles Parish Louisiana An Aera Where Many People From Europe Emigrated At The End Of The 1800′s. Alcide Gaspard Was Born In 1880 And Became Blind At The Age Of Seven. He Learned To Play Several Instruments And Played For House Parties With Family Members. He Became Known As Blind Uncle Gaspard And Made His Livingby Playing Guitar And Singing At Social Gatherings. In Addition To His French/cajun Repertoire He Would Sing Cowboy Songs And Was Well-Loved By His Community For His Music And Good-Nature . He Died In 1937. His Musical Partner Delma Lachney Was A Younger Left-Handed Fiddle Player Born In 1896 Who Also Played In House Parties And Social Gatherings With Family Members. He Formed Many Bands And Performed Until 1946 Or 1947. Their Music Would Include Country Music And American Fiddle Tunes Along With The Cajun Repertoire. Lachney Married Twice Worked Most Of His Life As A Farmer And Loved To Play And Share His Music. He Died In 1949. In 1929 It Was Through An Arrangement With A Marksville Furniture And Record Store Owner That Lachney And Gaspard Made A Trip To Chicago In Automobile To Record For The Brunswick-Collender Company. The Duo Recorded Ten Sides There And Another Six Sides One Month Later In New Orleans On Some Of This Sides Blind Uncle Gaspard Is Singing Alone Only With His Guitar . The Music They Recorded Together Was Composed Of Dance Tunes And Ballads Sang In The French Cajun Dialect That They Possibly Have Written Themselves. If Their Music Doesn’t Sound Like The Typical Cajun Music We Know Today It Possess An Authentic Charming And Unique Beauty That Is No Longer Heard Particulary The Track Included In The Anthology “La Danseuse” The Dancer Girl Which Is A Beautiful Fiddle Tune With A Simple Guitar Back-Up. It Remains For Me One Of The Most Beautiful Side Of The Whole Harry Smith’s Anthology. I Didn’t Found Other Versions For This Tune Which I Think Is An Original One Composed By Lachney For More Informations About Lachney And Gaspard I Strongly Recommend The Yazoo Compilation Called “Early American Cajun Music”. Most Of The Informations I Had Came From The Liner Notes Of This Disc Along With The Photos Of The Musicians.
