Thread Name: Jimmie (Jimmy) Driftwood
Subject: RE: Jimmie (Jimmy) Driftwood
Jimmy Driftwood was one of the artists whose records Wayne Raney would play on the WCKY Jamboree, out of Cincinnati. Listening to late night radio as a kid (in New York), that was how I learned much about folk and country music, which were more or less interchangeable on Wayne's program. I remember hearing Driftwood singing all the verses of "The Batle of New Orleans" and playing the mouth bow and singing "Four Little Girls From the Town of Boston."
