Goin Where The Climate Suits My Clothes Fiddlin John Carson

It is amazing how the good ones keep going around. I think the older version are better than the new ones. To bad the recording system was so crude. Love it. Thanks

My Grandfather became an apprentice sometime around 1909, and worked as a journeyman until1915 or 1916. John parted from Fulton mills in May of 1915 when he joined an unsuccessful strike, the story of which is told in "Contesting the New South Order", by Clifford M. Kuhn. There is even a photo of Fiddlin' John being evicted from his company house on p.161. Striking or not, my Grandfather left at about the same time to work as a round house mechanic for the Central of Georgia Railroad. Thanks!

Very cool, I'll have to check out that book. That's very nice that you know all that family history. Thanks for sharing it with me and have a wonderful day, Brian

Thank you thank you! for the work you have done posting this music by Fiddlin' John. I went browsing to find it because , like Fiddlin' John, my Grandfather worked at the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill in Atlanta in 1915, and almost certainly heard John playing in a pool hall on Decatur Street. Bless you!

[BBYMRLCCOTN]

That's really cool! How long did your Grandfather work there? I am sure that he did hear him. I have Fiddlin' John Carson's complete recordings. Do you have any requests?

5/5 Sure beats any of this crap on tv now of "fools with their pants on the ground."

[BBYMRLCCOTN]

I know what you mean. In my mind the stuff they play today isn't country music at all. This is the true original. Thanks for watching and have a great day, Brian
