I'm looking for a source to determine the dates of the following recordings from a record called "78 Revelations" (Tremulant 2012):
01. Over The Road I'm Bound To Go 02. Blackwater Blues 03. Sail Away Ladies 04. Walking In The Sunshine 05. Don't Get Weary Children 06. Greay Cat on the Tennessee Farm 07. Deliverance Will Come 08. Go Along Mule 09. Carve That Possum 10. Keep My Skillet Good And Greasy 11. Ain't It A Shame To Keep Your Honey Out Of The Rain 12. I'm A-Goin' Away To Morn 13. Jordan Is A Hard Road To Travel 14. Way Down The Old Plank Road 15. Shall We Gather At The River 16. Tom And Jerry 17. Uncle Dave's Beloved Solo 18. Bile Them Cabbage Down 19. The Crossed Butcher & the Cackling Hen 20. Rise When The Rooster Crows 21. Rock About My Sara Jane 22. Worthy Of Estimation 23. The Bible's True 24. Rabbit In The Pea Patch 25. Hold That Wood-Pile Down 26. Run, Nigga, Run
Any suggestions? Even if the best I could do is a reasonably narrow range of dates, that would be OK.
Hi misterjones, I've got a few of the dates, assuming your tracks are the same as the ones I have info for.
*Tom and Jerry--May 9, 1927 *Shall We Gather At The River--May 10, 1927 *The Cross-Eyed Butcher and the Cackling Hen--September 9, 1926 *I'm A-goin' Away in the Morn--May 9, 1927 *Carve That Possum--May 9, 1927
Those are the only titles from your program for which I have recording dates. All best, Johnm
