GUEST,Babypix	Lyr Add: Down in the Arkansas (Jimmy Driftwood) (16)	RE: Lyr Add: Down in the Arkansas (Jimmy Driftwood)	05 Mar 17
Gentle Colleagues: I do hate to re-open this can of worms, but there seems to be some dispute regarding a VERSION of "Way Down in the Arkansas", NOT the Jimmy Driftwood/Art Thieme MELODY-- Apparently, Fresno's own Kenny Hall, sang a minor or modal version of this song, which quite a different and interesting tune. It's not listed in "Kenny Hall's Music Book", however. I'd like to find source of sheet music of this version. There doesn't seem to be a recording of George "Honey Boy" Evans singing HIS version (1913) of this song... Thanking you in advance! Deborah Robins
