Zoomer Roberts:
guitars & standup bass
I recorded this song and the five that follow in the spring of 1984 at the home of local bluegrass musician Charles Harding. He had a four-track cassette machine with sound-on-sound capabilities, and invited me to lay down some tracks using his Martin dreadnought guitar and Kay acoustic bass. In 1988, I gave a dub of the instrumentals to Hank Snow at the Grand Ole Opry. He expressed approval of my handling of this old Lani McIntyre number because I had included the introductory verse, which only appears on Jimmie Rodgers' 1930 recording. Mr. Snow and I stayed in touch until his passing in 1999.
