Dear Stan,
A minor correction.
Sadly, there is only one recorded side featuring Jimmie Rodgers and Louis Armstrong.
"Blue Yodel No. 9", made in Los Angeles for Victor on 16 July 1930, with Lil Armstrong on piano.
Based on the matrix series, there were no other sides made at that session,
For listmates who may be interested, it can be heard on YouTube at:

In October 197o, Johnny Cash invited an ailing Louis to recreate this Rodgers' recording on 'The Johnny Cash Show'. 
This too is on YouTube.

Very kind regards,
