JIMMIE RODGERS 1929 VICTOR SCROLL LABEL 78
Recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, October 22, 1928, here is
the Singin’ Brakeman, Jimmie Rodgers, with a raggle-taggle
Dixieland band (featuring Hawaiian guitar) helping him out
on one of his finest sides - Waiting For A Train.
I’ve been on the hunt for this 78 for a long time - finally
got a copy from my pal Bob Brown in Spokane. And, when I was
poking around on the Internet, I found a YouTube link to some
movie footage of Jimmie singing Waiting For A Train.
Truly astounding to see. Here’s a link to that film footage.

We heard Waiting For A Train on the November 27/06 edition of RRR.
