  • you can see the signs of his illness in that old video

  • phatomvibrationX don't know what he's talking about, I'm a blood relative to this man and we didn't have any black people in our family at that time , but today we do , I have five great and amazeing first cousins and I'm 24yr old and there all younger then me, so there!!! Take the word from someone who is a member of the family !!! p.s. ask me anything I might know a little more than what you could find online.

  • @raptoreagle Blues Yodel #9 ("Standin' On The Corner"). It's in there.

  • @lookagain77 - Or they could have been too poor .

  • @cw1310 'Blue Yodel No 9'. Found with a 20 second search.

  • I think phantomvibrationsX is high on something, or just confused. I searched the internet and found nothing to indicate that Jimmy Rogers, the singing brakeman had any black ancestry.

  • @phantomvibrationsX Was he half black? Apparently it's difficult to find pictures of his parents.

  • @cw1310 STANDIN ON THE CORNER It was accepted procedure for Jimmie Rodgers and others who appeared somewhat white--to record black songs so that they could be sold to the white audience and all would profit...Mostly Peer..Although Rodgers did have some associations with whites--they were few and far between till the Bristol Sessions.. A quick check of history will find the father of country music and jazz--was black--not white.. His signed closeup speaks for itself.

    

  • can relate to this song heard it in Barlinnie Jail in Bonnie Scotland

  • check with the Ernest Tubb record shop,they will haveJimmie and louis playing together. the name of the song is standing on the corner, and louis wife played piano on this session
