Well, I have read and heard that the old Medicine Shows were important and much more the artists were often recorded by the record companies.

I'm glad to have you as a friend !

Peace Brother !

@seanranspot Same here man. Old Crow Medicine Show are the ones who introduced me to this good ol' timey music. Through them I've found hundreds of artists and thousands of songs. Folk, Blues, Blugrass, Ragtime, true Country, Gospel, String Bands, Jug Bands.... its all so godamn good. Its bordering on obsession for me finding this stuff

@TheESCALADO No, they all were all right and good musicans, but perhaps they all had the same problem as all Bluesmen had. They were fond of alcohol, I guess. I can't blame them, cause they all created good Blues. Jug Band Blues !

Thanks for the comment and listening !

Peace Brother !

@kickingmule No. I mean were they cripples ? They look like they could be Negro Mongoloids or otherwise mentally retarded.

@TheESCALADO If you mean were they performed, so mostly in Memphis Tennessee. For more information, please, look at the information about the song.

Thanks for the comment and listening !

Peace !
