Seems he`s meaning the boys at the hunt, not necessarily the men on the record. We really can`t tell who the quartet is from the record or what is said on it. BUT, according to the book by Tony Russell, Country Music Records A Dicography, 1921-1942, the people on the record besides ex-governor Taylor are Nat Taylor, Alfred Taylor Jr., David Taylor & Bob Wardrep. So I`d say these are his sons. <br />Unfortunately Alf Taylor also recorded 4 other sides that were never issued. I`d love to hear them!<br />Allen`s Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453190909114697645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256879033235982364.post-75356621137430989962014-06-24T11:52:04.619-05:002014-06-24T11:52:04.619-05:00The Old Limber Quartet was not a "Negro"...The Old Limber Quartet was not a "Negro" quartet; it was composed of Alf Taylor and his sons. On the recording, Alf states that the quartet sings in the manner of the "old Negroes" gathered around a campfire after a fox hunt.Robert Love Taylornoreply@blogger.com
