Jimmie Rogers : My Little Old Home Down In New Orleans(1928)

[squirrelnutcased]

its sad to think how many of these great old records have gotten broken by careless people or thrown out. :(

I am up in my years but never knew Jimmie Rodgers and I mean the first Jimmie Rodgers. I am sure glad that I came to hear these recordings before I die. This man was the "Father of Country". A Classic country bard from the `ol days when life was hard but a lot simpler. Amen! God has blessed us with such talent.

i've got some ol 78s down in the basement, coulnd't tell ya who's on em

[trydreamin]

So nostalgic but still the sweetest sound. I just love the music that led us to where we are now.

[bouncedrealitycheck]

One of my favorites by Jimmie Rodgers. It kinda came back to me after Katrina, along with a few Duke Ellington tunes. Man, this is the music.

[DarkFoot25]

That is amazing. Good folk music and to see how far technology has come.

[haifasun]

is there a cover / sleeve for this great record?

[manhatin]

No, these old 78's only came with a paper sleeve to protect the record. There were no pictures or liner notes.

[breastlady]

That was great! Thank you for taking the time to let us all enjoy it with you!

Thank you so much for giving so much pleasure by posting this gem.

[manhatin]

And, the music goes round and round.

[benjoe789]

this is the best way to listen to anysong.

consider yourself priveledged. J.R. is one of the best, and on vinyl he is like nothing on earth.

I miss these old sounds...

[walsham]

Tugging at my heartstrings; aint nobody does it like J. R.

[GowanBray]

Spelt Rodgers on the record, so this must be the correct spelling of his name?

[manhatin]

anna8elvis , Don't know exactly how old it is. It's German built and I think it's late 50's or early 60's.

[anna8elvis]

WOW...how old is the gramophone? sounds really good!:D

damusician, It's surprising how many songs on records from the 1920s and 30s sound fresh. I'm always amazed when a record that is seventy or eighty years old sounds current.

[damusician]

cool song! sounds like 70's music. lol!
