I am grateful to Ry Cooder for introducing me to Flaco Jimenez. I just discovered that Ry Cooder is, very likely, grateful to #ChrisStrachwitz for the original introduction! It's the miracle of the modern age, with all its warts and wrinkles, that I can be lucky enough to be exposed to each of them.

Special Memorial #ChrisStrachwitz Episode of @AccordionNoir Radio

Sharing bits of a 2014 interview with Chris talking about his years working with #Accordion greats like #CliftonChenier in the early days of #Zydeco

And the monumental work Chris did at #ArhoolieRecords sharing #Cajun #Creole #Conjunto #Norteno #Bluegrass and #Trad #FolkMusic

Thanks Chris for appreciating accordions, unlike many #FolkRevival peers who [he said] just wanted to “bang on guitars” 🎸❤️‍🔥🪗
