Justin Wilson Christmas 45

Here`s a Christmas treat for you! The old Cajun comedy man and cook, Justin Wilson.
I remember and first became aquainted with him when I was a teenager on PBS tv with his Cajun cooking show. He was very funny on there. Then I just discovered 2 or 3 years ago that he had made several comedy LP`s. Then I recently found this 45 with "Cajun-ized" Christmas tunes on it. Merry Christmas everyone!!

Track list---
1. Randolph The Rouge Nosed Reindeer
2. Santa Claus Done Brought Himself To Town

J.E. Mainer on Rural Rhythm - Vols. 19&20

Well folks---It`s been a while since I posted much of anything. I`m gonna try to get a little more regular again.
Here is the last two volumes of J.E. Mainer put out on the Rural Rhythm label. I`m sorry, but these 2 LP`s aren`t in very good condition, they are crackly and have some skips.
I still have some other J.E. Mainer items to post on other labels. When I get done with J.E.`s stuff I likely will start posting material of his brother, Wade, Who recently passed away at 103 years old!



Track list for Volume 19---
1. Donkey On The Track (an old tune that I believe originated with Al Hopkins in the 20`s)
2. Possum Up A Gum Stump (a common old time fiddle tune)
3. McNickles Break Down (I believe this is pretty much the same tune as Grayson & Whitter`s Lee Highway Blues)
4. Round Town Gals (this tune seems to be a cross between Ragtime Annie and something else)
5. Get In There Rabbit (an ancient tune that was first recorded by the first woman to record a country record named Samantha Bumgarner about 1924)
7. Shoot The Turkey Buzzard (an old fiddle tune that I believe originated in east Tennessee)
8. Ride Old Buck To Water (an old Skillet Lickers number)
9. Flop Eared Mule (another common old fiddle tune)
10. Old Dan Tucker (this version uses sort of a different, unique tune that the same old words are sung to)
11. Jolly Blacksmith (another old fiddle number that I think originated from east Tennessee)
12. Mainer`s Blues (this tune is sort of a different version of Lee Highway Blues)
13. Seven And One Half (I have no idea where this tune comes from)
14. Cacklin` Hen (the common old fiddle tune)
15. Blue Ridge Break Down (this is another tune I`ve never heard anyone else play, sounds related to I Don`t Love Nobody)
16. Polly Put The Kettle On (a common old fiddle tune, sometimes Polly is called Molly)
17. Bucking Mule (another common fiddle tune where the fiddle sort of imitates a mule bray with the fiddle)
18. Rabbit In A Log (the common old words sang to a unique tune)
19. Chicken Reel (an ancient old fiddle tune)
20. Run Mountain (this seems to be a Mainer original tune)

Track list for Volume 20---
1. Diggin` Taters (an old fiddle tune from north Georgia called Liberty that had been recorded by about all of the north Georgia fiddlers, most people now call it Liberty, Off Of The Corn Licker Still, as the Skillet Lickers played it on one of their Corn Licker Still In Geoegia records)
2. Johnson Boys (an old number that I believe Al Hopkins may have rcorded first in the 1920`s)
3. Old And In The Way (an old tear-jerker first recorded by Fiddlin` John Carson)
4. Fill Me U A Bottle (I don`t know where this comes from, but there is a Skillet Licker tune very similar to the tune here)
5. Raise A Ruckus (an old tune that I believe originally came from pop music in the `teens or maybe even a little earlier)
6. Rim Street Brake Down (I believe this is a Mainer original)
7. Jimmy And Johnny (I don`t know anything about this one)
8. Granny Kickin` Up Her Heels (I don`t know anything about this one either)
9. Somebody Waiting For You (likely an old pop tune originally, Sam & Kirk McGee recorded it in the 1920`s)
10. Cripple Creek (one of the most common old numbers)
11.Dance Around Little Lou (this sounds related to Skip To My Lou)
12. Lost Indian (a fiddle tune that I believe was written by an early fiddler for Roy Acuff named Tommy Magness, who also adapted the tune Black Mountain Blues into the tune we now call Black Mountain Rag)
13. Johnny Get Your Gun (several early Georgia artists recorded this in the 1920`s, so I`d say it may originate from north Georgia)
14. Then I`ll Come Back To You (this was a pop tune that Charlie Poole recorded in the 1920`s)
15. Man In The Wood Pile (an old fiddle tune with several different names, such as Nigger In The Woodpile, Buck Creek Girls and a few more that I can`t recall at the moment)
16. Rock That Cradle Lucy (a tune that may have originated from the Skillet Lickers)
17. Jordan Am A Hard Road To Travel (an old minstrel show number that had been recorded pretty early in the country field by Riley Puckett)
18. Weary Miner Blues (I think this was an old honky tonk tune from the early 1940`s)
19. Johnson`s Old Grey Mule (an old tune that I believe was first recorded by Earl Johnson)
20. Jim Boy`s Break Down (this sounds a little related to the old Liberty tune mentioned above)

A Visit With Tex Ritter & Roy Acuff

As many of you know, I`m a Roy Acuff fan. So when I saw this on ebay, I grabbed it. This disc is a typical 7 inch 45. It is a conversation between Roy Acuff (who was on the CMA board at the time) and Tex Ritter, who was president of the CMA. It`s just sort of a promotional disc, telling of the good things the CMA was working on and what they stand for. The CMA sounds like sort of a musicians union by what Roy and Tex talk about on the disc. If you listen to it, you will see what the CMA was originally trying to do for the industry.
Listen & enjoy!

Blue Grass Special 45 with Jimmie Skinner & Rusty York

Here is a 45 I bought on ebay because it had Jimmie Skinner on it. For some reason I didn`t notice it wasn`t all Jimmie Skinner songs (I really like Jimmie Skinner). So... anyhow.... here`s still a good `un!

Lake Howard - Radio And Record Star

Here is an artist that I don`t know anything about except what I can read on the cover and hear on the record. He is very Carter style influenced on guitar. I Can`t say much about this LP except that it`s a good `un!

Roy Acuff on a Howard home recording disc

Here is quite an odd-ball find. It is a 7 inch home recording disc. You could get about two minutes on one side of these blanks.Before people had tape recorders and more modern ways to record stuff, you had to have a home disc cutter. Some were stand alone units that you could plug a radio or a microphone into, and some were a combination radio-disc cutter. The material here is recorded from radio broadcasts.
I`m guessing this is from the mid 1940`s, but that`s a total guess. The sound quality is pretty bad, I cleaned it up the best I could without compromising the audio.
The first cut is a mystery, the 2nd cut is from a live Grand Ole Opry performance by Roy Acuff with The Solemn Old Judge, George D. Hay announcing the number, the last cut is by Fats Waller. Quite a variety for sure.
Happy listening!



Track list---
1. no idea who the first cut is or the tune, it`s a pop number
2. Roy Acuff - Wabash Cannon Ball from a live Grand Ole Opry show
3. Fats Waller - I Understand

3. You`ll Come To Me (don`t know this one)

5. The Right Side (never heard this anywhere else)
6. After The Ball (the familiar old song, possibly with English roots)
7. Raggedy Ann (a common alternate title for Ragtime Annie)
8. Trusting You (sounds like a 1950`s-ish country tune)
9. Fatal Derby Day (an old English ballad popularized by Bradley Kincaid, also performed some by Grandpa Jones)
10. Bucking Mule (this don`t really sound like any mule fiddle tune I know except for the fiddle doing the mule bray)
11. Would You Care (an old tune Roy Acuff recorded, could be J.E.`s source)
12. Southern Melody (sounds like a tune made up by J.E.)
13. An Unfriendly World (don`t know this number, sounds almost Carter Family-ish)
14. Lie To Me Baby (sounds like a sort of 1940`s tune, I can imagine hearing this on a juke box in an old country beer joint somewhere way back in the woods)
15. Dance Around Little Lou (actually the tune is Skip To My Lou)
16. A Sinner`s Song (don`t know this song)
17. Keep Inching Along (sounds like this could have originally been a spiritual type religious song)

Here is the text on the back of both of these LP`s----

My 78`s #6

Stroup Quartet - Columbia 15299-D
The Man Behind The Plow / Dreaming - recorded April 20, 1928
A neat record that I thought would be gospel, but it isn`t. These are just two songs that sort of show off quartet singing. This is the only record this group made. They were likely from the Atlanta, Georgia area as this was recorded in Atlanta. Atlanta was a sort of a music center in the south that Columbia had at least two sessions a year. Columbia recorded MANY old-time country and blues artists in Atlanta.





Bennett Brothers/Brown & Edwards - Lyric 4146
The Memphis Blues/Dolores - likely recorded in the mid teens
A neat record with the famously popular tune Memphis Blues backed with an accordion duet on Dolores



Price Family Sacred Singers - OKeh 40796
I Went Down Into The Garden/Ship Of Glory - recorded March 27, 1927
Another group likely from the Atlanta area, as that is where it was recorded.



W.F. Narmour & S.W. Smith - OKeh 45242
Captain George, Has Your Money Come?/The Sunny Waltz - recorded February 15, 1928
Here is some of the oddest fiddle music ever recorded in my opinion. They are great, but do some things that today is mighty uncommon. Extra notes or beats in a line of music, or dropped beats in a measure etc. I really can`t believe that no company has ever issued their complete recordings.



Billy Golden/??? - Standard Disc Record A295 (I believe this would have been made from Columbia masters)
Turkey In The Straw/Why Don`t You Write When You Don`t Need Money - likely recorded between 1905 &1910-ish
CAUTION---this is an old "coon song" record. if you are offended by such material, please do not listen to this disc.
On the first side we have the delightful Billy Golden rendering his wonderfully ridiculous Turkey In The Straw. I know I`ve posted Billy Golden Turkey In The Straws before, but he recorded it for many different companies and each version has some variations in them.
I have no idea who the artist is on the other tune. I will never understand why they issued records with no artist credit, unless it was to dodge royalties, which were not a common practice at the time anyhow. Most artist in this era were payed a per side payment instead of royalties on disc sales.



John McGhee (as Jesse Oakley) - Supertone 9674
When The Harvest Days Are Over Jessie Dear/You`re Welcome As The Flowers In May - recorded February 3, 1930
Two old love songs. John McGhee recorded many, many sides. Most were either gospel type tunes or old songs of the type on this disc.



Billy Golden & Joe Hughes/Steve Porter - Victor 16141
Shipmates/Flanagan On A Farm - likely recorded around the late teens
CAUTION---side one is an old "coon comedy" and the other side is an Irish type comedy.
Billy Golden was mentioned above. Steve Porter was a comedian that usually performed as an Irishman. Such stereotypical comedy is taboo now but was very common from the mid 1800`s up into the 1920`s.



Rev. J.M. Gates - Victor 20365
Just As Soon as My Feet Strike Zion, Lord I Won`t Be Troubled No More/Adam And Eve In The Garden - likely recorded around 1927
A great preaching record by Rev. Gates. He recorded MANY discs and must have been popular.



Hilo Hawaiian Orchestra - Victor 21465
My Hula Love/Kawaihau Waltz - likely recorded about 1928
A couple of good Hawaiian numbers. Hawaiian songs were extremely popular from about 1900 on into the 1940`s.



Biltmore Kalaluhi Hawaiian Orchestra - Columbia A-2200
Medley Of Hawaiian Melodies/Kaui Kahio Medley - likely recorded around 1924
Seems every Hawaiian artist or band recorded a side called Medley Of Hawaiian Melodies. Good music.



Emry Arthur - Decca 5085
I`m Always Thinking Of You/Look Out For The Window - recorded January 17, 1935
This is a pretty rare record. Emry Arthur is likely most well known now for being the first person to record I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow, which became famous in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou.



The Jenkins Family - OKeh 40214
The Church In The Wildwood/If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again - recorded August 28, 1924
Blind Andrew Jenkins was the leader of this family group. He was a blind preacher that lived in Atlanta. He wrote many gospel and topical songs in the 1920`s.



Billy Golden - OKeh 4249
Turkey In The Straw/Rabbit Hash - likely recorded in the teens.
These particular sides may not have actually been recorded by OKeh. They may have leased these sides from another company.
CAUTION---these are both "coon type" sides, performed in black dialect (but not necessarily in a racist way). Billy Golden was very well known for the performance of these two sides. They range from ridiculous to downright outrageous. There is certainly no way to describe Rabbit Hash. You just have to listen.



Van Eps-Banta Dance Orchestra - Pathe 20087
Pretty Baby/Teasing The Cat - likely recorded 1915-1920-ish
Two classic style banjo numbers. Fun stuff to listen to.

Armed Forces Radio & Television Service LP

Here is sort of a unique item. I don`t really know anything about this type disc, except they were issued to be played over radio stations operated by the various branches of the service or at service recreation halls for entertaining the troops.
Hope you all enjoy it!



Scan of the paper sleeve it was issued in. I believe these were meant to be played only by the services a few times and then thrown away.

Bradley Kincaid 45 on the Royale label

Here is a neat one. I don`t care to collect 45`s myself, but I do like this red one. Also, they are a couple of good recordings of these titles for Bradley.
If you like Bradley Kincaid, be sure to search my blog, there is several other Kincaid records on here.

Juniorette Special - In The Best Circles They Are Dancing Square

Here`s is something of an oddity. This is a 7 inch 78 made of paper, coated with, most likely, clear acetate. There is no artists names or song titles mentioned on the disc. This likely was issued in a paper sleeve that had that information on it. Of course, I don`t have the sleeve. The material is of what I`d say a late 1940`s version of an old time string band. Hope you like it!

Tracks list---
1. Little Brown Jug
2. Golden Slippers

I`m not going to go into any history on Wayne, as I have posted another Wayne Raney LP before and Wrote about all I knew about him then. Just search my blog for Wayne Raney to find the other post. Hope you all enjoy this one!
