Alcide "Blind Uncle" Gaspard[1] fue un vocalista ciego y guitarrista de Louisiana who 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, he became blind when he was seven.[2] Gaspard formed his first band with his brothers Victor and Amade. When he began recording in the late 1920s it was as a backing guitarist for fiddler Delma Lachney. He also recorded some solo selections during these sessions. Little else is known about Gaspard, though four of his sides (and a few of his appearances with Lachney) appear on the Yazoo compilation Early American Cajun Music released in 1999. Gaspard died in 1937.
