FWIW when some of these titles were first reissued on a Mamlish LP in 1972 sleeve note writer Mike Stewart had this to say about them:
"Information on Otto Virgial is even more scarce than the fugitive recordings he made in 1935. Playing in E on both selections, Virgial is instantly recognizable as a delta artist. Bad Notion Blues indeed lifts verses, runs and facets associated with Charlie Patton. In his picking style, he is literally "all over the guitar", picking virtually any amd all strings with any and all fingers. Like Patton and Bukka White, he has the style of knocking on the guitar in rhythm with his playing. Even more frantic and dazzling in its rhythmic approach is Little Girl in Rome, reminiscent of Jaydee Short, the white Alfred G. Karnes, and (to some extent) Ed Bell. The complexity of the guitar work here precludes the possibility of unusual chordal structure or elaborate melodic lead. Instead we hear the results of elaborate and full right hand picking, augmented by picking as well as merely fretting by the left hand. In the key of E natural, Virgial uses a left-hand approach identifiable with Furry Lewis, Patton and George Torey."
The person reviewing it for Blues Unlimited made the tentative suggestion that Rome, Mississippi was the place in question.
