The legendary Grammy Award winning zydeco artist Stanley Dural Jr., known to millions as Buckwheat Zydeco, needs our help. Buckwheat is facing a medical crisis, and has not been able to tour due to his cancer diagnosis. A Go Fund Me account has been set up for him by Cynthia Simien, wife of Terrance Simien, a Grammy winning musician in his own right, and the 'Friends of Buckwheat'.

Buckwheat not only is a legendary musician, but a wonderful ambassador for the great state of Louisiana! He has played with Eric Clapton, U2, Dwight Yoakam, Willie Nelson, and so many others. He has also performed for two United States Presidents, and at the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Let's help one of one Louisiana's favorite sons, and a true Bayou State treasure. Thanks for all the wonderful music, Buckwheat Zydeco, now it's time for us to help you! Check out the first episode of his Youtube series 'Welcome to Buckwheat's World' below.
