@jansreed Hi Jan - I'm a grad student at the University of Mississippi and i'm writing my thesis about Native American fiddlers. If you could, please contact me at jxfussell@yahoo.com. I would like to know more about your grandfather and great-grandfather. Thanks and long live Big Chief Henry's Indian String Band!... Jake Fussell
@jansreed Runman is a game made by Matt Thorston and Tom Sennet. They used entirely Public Domain recordings of Folk, Blues and Jazz. This was one of my favourite songs in it.
Thank-you so much for recording this!! I have a photograph of my grandfather, Clarence Hall, and his father, Henry Hall, with their instruments, and I had heard they had a band, but I didn't know the name of it and I had no idea I could find anything about them online. I didn't know they recorded any songs either. I guess they recorded 6 according to Wikipedia, but I'm just thrilled to be able to hear this original record!! Can you tell me how you found it?
I just discovered Big Chief Henry's Indian String Band from the runman soundtrack. Throughly enjoyable. Thank you for posting these, I'd never have a chance to hear it outside videos like these.
