Biographical Note
Julian Culbreath was born on August 29, 1916 in Suwannee County, but lived in the commercial fishing village of Cortez in Manatee County. He received his nickname as a child after he took a liking to a neighbor?s goose and showed more appreciation for it than for his school work. He learned to play the fiddle at about the same time, taking it up in the tradition of his father and his grandfather. He was awarded the Florida Folk Heritage Award in 1992. In his more than 80 years of music making, Culbreath learned a variety of styles. He later died on October 19, 2003.
