Thanks Azizi

I learn new things about Pinkard and his cohorts all the time. Apparently his "Mammy O' Mine" is the same "Mammy" that made Al Jolson famous. Roy Turk wrote "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" that made Elvis famous even though Turk wrote it in '34, the year of his death. I'm also thinking that William Tracey was another pseudonym but I can't swear to it.

On the net, there's lots of old Pinkard sheet music covers. I have a 1928 copy of "Dawning." Apparently Bluefield Institute is now Bluefield State College and they hold a "Maceo Pinkard Day" but inquiries to the college's various officers and administrators for anymore info or photos of Pinkard have gone unanswered for a very long time.
