Thanks for making this video available. I included it on my cultural page. Google Jambalayah Videos Of Traditional Musical Instruments (D-N)

The purpose of that page is to increase awareness about "traditional" musical instruments through videos, and brief comments and/or links.

I was one of his care takers in his last years..He was the sweetest man alive! He looked just like he does in this vid in the 1990's.he did not age at all..It broke my heart when he died..He use to play the harmonica for me and sing about Angels. RIP Mr. Strickland..you are missed.
