This here number was sung way back yonder. My grandmother sung it, my grandmother's mother sung it, my mother's grandmother's mother's mother's grandmother sung it. Way back yonder, 500 years old. - Rev. Gary Davis introduces Children of Zion, From Blues to Gospel

Friendly Chap was the guitarist on the Junior Wells album Hoodoo Man Blues (Delmark 612). I have it in mind that Mr Chap was also a sideman on a West Coast session that also included Muddy Waters under pseudonym ("Clear Creek", I think; I cld be wrong) but I can't put my hand on the record right now. dj
Gus Cannon was Banjo Joe for his 1927 Paramount session.
Hi all,
I think Josh White's early solo religious numbers were released as being made by "Joshua White, the singing Christian" and his blues were released as being made by Pinewood Tom. All best, Johnm Patton as Elder J.J. Hadley as well for Prayer of Death, also likely a Paramount marketing ploy. Charlie's Herwin sides also issued as Charlie Peters jpeters609
William Harris:
"William Harris" on Gennett "Alonzo Boone" on Supertone "Bud Johnson" on Champion I'll nominate Kansas City Kitty. Thomas Dorsey told interviewers she was Mozelle Alderson. He also stated that Jane Lucas was the same singer. She also recorded as Hannah May when recording with the Famous Hokum Boys.

Charlie Jordan was Uncle Skipper for an unissued Decca session in 1935 and for his final Decca session in 1937.

Ed Bell:
Ed Bell for Paramount and his final Columbia session Sluefoot Joe for QRS Barefoot Bill for his first 2 Columbia sessions, and possibly for Paramount session for which the issued record has never been found. Hi all,
I believe that when Cecil Barfield was first recorded, he gave his name as William Robertson. All best, Johnm Hi all,
I know Kokomo Arnold also had records released as Gitfiddle Jim. Did he have any other recording monickers? All best, Johnm eric
John, DGR lists Gitfiddle Jim for his first two recorded sides on Victor in 1930, all subsequent ones are on Decca as Kokomo Arnold. I don't know if he recorded after 1943.
He reputedly did a recording session with Willie Dixon in the 60's but it was never released.

Teddy Darby:
Teddy Darby on Paramount and Victor Blind Squire Turner on Bluebird Blind Darby on Vocalion Blind "Blues" Darby on Decca dj
Booker T. Washington White:
Washington White for his 1930 Victor sessions Washington (Barrelhouse) White For the Library of Congress in 1939 Bukka White for Vocalion/Okeh on 1937 and 1939 By the way, White recorded 14 songs for Victor on May 26, 1930. Only 4 were issued. I sure wish someone would stumble over the 10 unissued masters in the corner of a warehouse somewhere!
