Marek, you may be conflating two stories.  As others have mentioned, 
it seems pretty clear that Fingers Carr = Lou Busch.  However, the 
time the Fingers Carr records were coming out, there were also many

by different pianists, chief among whom was the redoubtable (and 
still going!) Dick Hyman.  Bill Edwards has comprehensive info about 
honky-tonk piano at http://www.perfessorbill.com/ragtime11.shtml.
