My name is Jason McInnes. I am curious to talk with folks who were friends with and/or studied music with Win Stracke.

I direct a group of youth musicians called the Young Stracke All-Stars. Started in 2008, the band celebrates the legacy of children's music and education pioneer, Win Stracke. The Young Stracke All-Stars build a bridge between legendary figures like Carl Sandburg and Woody Guthrie and the youth of today.

Here is a link to a video of the band singing at Win's gravestone warming in 2012.

Here is a more recent video of the band playing outside of Wrigley Field during the summer of 2014.
