Record Store Day RARE find... CBG 78rpm.....

Legend goes, when I was just a boy around 6yrs old, my Grandmother spoke of her older brother leaving home. This was in the late 1920's. Rumor was, he headed to the delta region of Mississippi...for unknown reasons. The family did not look kindly on this as they never heard from him again. Nothing else was ever mentioned.... I had just about forgotten about him, having never met him...nor seen any photos. Until Record Store day 2014. Found in a musty box, in the back room of a store in Prescott AZ...

Thanks all... @Uncle John...as far as I know...this is the real deal (in my mind!!!).

All in all...a fun project...that if it sounds like the '30s....mission accomplished!

Cool find, what's on the other side?

Comment by Uncle John on April 21, 2014 at 7:03am

All right.  Now I am worried.  Knotlenny is right.  This sounds very 1930s and real.   But I was thinking up to now that this was you, Noisemaker.  Sounding good and telling a fun tall tale.   Is it you or the great uncle?

This is the real deal. Very nice cut, Noisemaker

Was he the same guy that played guitar with Ledbelly on the prison Louisiana Prison recordings?  The one who did the high falsetto back up singing?
