Thanks so much for posting this - Ed. It's incredible how these songs travelled even before the Internet - Highway Patrolman Frank Quinn's version somehow got over to Leicestershire in the UK and turned up at a pub session in Husbands Bosworth in the 1960s. John Tams heard it, learned it, recorded it - and off we go again!

Wow, nice video and song. Thanks for your extensive educational comments. How in the world do you know so much about these people 80-90 yrs ago!

Thank you for sharing.

I only know Riley Puckett from the band Gid Tanner And His Skillet Lickers, so this one is rare, Riley playing solo, so 5 up.

Peace

I'm trying to find more of Riley's 78s, but as you say, they are rare-even on Ebay. Thanks for stopping by to comment Brother Urban. Always good to hear from you.
