Hear from Tee Don Landry about the history of a chance encounter between a Creole musician and Cajun metal craftsman to create the first Frottoir, strictly as a musical instrument. This story is one of musical invention, that remained a quiet, respectfully-held source of pride for the Landry family for more than fifty years.
