Hello all
Sheik's mention of the Cotton Pickers' Feb. 1923 "Way down yonder .."
prompted me to revisit the early recordings of this group and I couldn't
help but smile at the comment "despite being accoustic, it's quite
listenable". That's a bit like looking at the Sistine Chapel ceiling
frescos and saying "despite the cracks, they're quite good" :-)
The "tango" interlude is most interesting and I was wondering if anyone
knows what the melody is.
All the best
Anton
