No, I grew up down in Jackson County, just off the coast. But the Piney Woods and the territory just to the north comprise my favorite part of the state.---David Thomas Roberts

There's a lot of old time music history in your part of the country. Do you remember any of the local fiddlers?

[PolkRidgeAesthete]

Evocations of central Mississippi in those days are always exciting and heartwarming for me...Thanks for posting.

[BBYMRLCCOTN]

Are you from there?

The lead guitarist and singer, Dallas Jones, was my great grandfather. Cool to see this up here. Thanks for sharing!

You bet! That is so cool, in the picture, which one is he?

[underwoodm1]

He is on the far left holding the large guitar. He lived to be over 90 years old.

[BBYMRLCCOTN]

Wow, it's nice that you have longevity in your family like that.

[BBYMRLCCOTN]

Very cool! Is there any kind of a yearly event to commemorate them?

It is incredible to be able to listen to music played almost 100 years ago. These gentlemen are from my tiny hometown of Sebastopol, MS.
