Subject: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Gary Date: 30 Sep 02 - 12:41 PM I have lyrics and some rudimentary chords for some Charlie Poole’s songs. I realize some are already in the DT, but some are not. Anyone interested in them? Shall I post them?

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Sep 02 - 12:46 PM Yes, very. You would do searches here by title and artist first, to be sure they are not already hiding in a thread, then post them here in this handy thread if they are not, unless you find a Charlie Poole songs thread and put more of them in there. If you have a substantially different version of a song, and it's posted in a thread, put the new version there. Change the subjkect line of each post to ADD: and then the title. GREAT! Do you know about Honkingduck? ~Susan |

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Sep 02 - 02:44 PM WOW! Good trade Gary! We do try to post things here becasue we feel Mudcat will outlast many other sites. So if a lyric comes from somewhere else, we post it here AND cite the site where it came from. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: tar_heel Date: 30 Sep 02 - 03:06 PM you need to get in touch with KENNY RORRER of DANVILLE,VIRGINIA kenny is a local historian on charlie poole...he knows anything and everything about charlie poole...his life,music,u-name-it,and has written many books on charlie poole...if charlie poole did it,sang it,recorded it,peformed it somewhere,kenny is the one who can tell you the story about it...youi must contact kenny if you love charlie pooles music...tell kenny that chuck hemrick (aka,tarheel)gave you this information.. Address for Kenny Rorrer deleted - he can probably be contact through his family's label, Flyin' Cloud Records. I believe Rorrer is Professor Kinney Rorrer at Danville Community College. Otherwise, send a personal message to Tar Heel for info on how to contact Rorrer. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Sep 02 - 03:28 PM Chuck, Mr. Rorrer is mentioned in the link Gary provided, and I am sure your endorsement of him is appreciated. But it's really not a good idea to put an address and phone numbers in a public forum without his permission. ~Susan |

Hi - some of the lines in this post were too wide. To make the chord spacing work, I had to reduce the type size. I suppose some of the chords are still in the wrong places, but it's the best I could do. |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Gary Date: 30 Sep 02 - 03:35 PM OK. I gotta figure out this line break thing. Gary |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Sep 02 - 03:39 PM That's OK, a Mudcat volunteer will be along to fix them, Gary. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Sep 02 - 03:40 PM Gary, If you want me to post them so the chords go where you wanted them, e-mail it to me at motormice@hotmail.com. But be sure to put the word MUDCAT in the subject line or it will not get through. ~Susan |

Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: BALTIMORE FIRE From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Sep 02 - 04:35 PM Here's a test. Is it looking like it should, Gary? ~Susan ========================================================== BALTIMORE FIRE Traditional It was on a silver falls by a narrow That I heard the cry I ever will remember, The fire sent and cast its burning embers On another fated city of our land. CHO: Fire, Fire, I heard the cry From every breeze that passes by, All the world was one sad cry of pity Strong men in anguish prayed, Calling loud to the Heavens for aid, While the fire in ruin was laying Fair Baltimore, the beautiful city Amid-an-awful-struggle of commotion, The-wind blew-a-gale from the ocean, Brave firemen struggled with devotion, But their efforts all proved in vain. The awful news did spread across the wire Of another sad catastrophe so dire, That Baltimore City is afire, And sinking 'neath the foe's relentless hand. ====================================================== CHORDS:
SOURCE: From New Lost City Ramblers; originally recorded by Charlie Poole. |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Sep 02 - 05:36 PM I love e-mail! The above isn't right. Gary is working chords into the text like we do here sometimes, and sending them to me. I'll post them when I get them. Worth working on and waiting for! Thanks, again, Gary. In the meantime, if anyone wants to search up old threads and the DT, for any of the above, and leave me word where they are, that would be a huge help. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Richie Date: 30 Sep 02 - 09:31 PM I'm playing up in Eden (Charlie's stomping grounds)with Doug Rorrer and Doc Watson. I have Kinney's book and e-mail address. I'm planning on seeing Kinney at the concert. If there's anything you'd like me to ask him, let me know. I'm interested in Charlie Poole and his music. I'd recommend getting Kinney's book. He has all of Charlie's lyrics and a lot of info about the songs. Let me know if you need any help. I'll put a link to my web-site: Click here -Richie |

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: Rick Fielding Date: 30 Sep 02 - 11:30 PM Huge Charlie Poole fan here. Nobody's mentioned whether Kinney is related to Posey Rorrer Thanks for the songs. Rick |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST Date: 01 Oct 02 - 12:00 AM Rick, Yes, Kinney and Doug (a great flatpicker) Rorrer are related to Posey Rorer (only one r). Doug told me he was his great uncle. I don't know why the spelling is different. I'll find out more this weekend when I'm up in Eden. Gutbucketeer's post "My Wife Went Away And Left Me" was a tune Poole learned from Kelly Harrell, which was based on Charles Vann's 1889 song, "Then my Darling I'll come Back to Thee". -Richie |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 01 Oct 02 - 09:38 AM I'm getting these all now in e-mail. I'll be starting a new, streamlined thread when I get them all tinkered up and matched with old threads. ~S~ |

Jay Gould's Daughter is a version of "Milwaukee Blues" but I don't recall Poole having sung these lyrics. What recording is "Jay Gould's Daughter" from? More info please?

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Richie Date: 06 Oct 02 - 01:15 PM Just a quit post about Posey Rorer, Poole's fiddler. I played up in Eden, NC with Doc Watson and Doug Rorrer last night at Morehead High School less than one mile from where Poole died. Doug Rorrer said, "Posey is my great-uncle. Charlie Poole also married into the family. Posey and some of the family spell the name with 3 R's, we spell it with 4 R's." Doug is a great flatpicker. He has a small label called 'Flying Cloud Recordings'. Tony Rice and the other Rice brothers are also from the area (Reidsville, NC). Wayne Henderson records some on "Flying Cloud'. -Richie |

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Richie Date: 07 Oct 02 - 01:33 PM The Charlie Poole Website: http://world.std.com/~gdallal/charlie_poole.htm Has- "C from Tennessee" which is "Coon from Tennessee". Substitutes words are added for offensive racial slurs, which is something I also do, but I footnote (*) the changed lyrics and at the bottom add: *Substitute lyrics- racial slurs. Personally even though I do have some offensive lyrics on my website- Click here they are only in several "Original Lyrics" entries put there for historical reference. It's a problem because I believe in authenticity but not in perpetuating offensive racial lyrics. Susan, I have Poole's lyrics, should I just start posting them with background info? I could do maybe one a week. -Richie |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Oct 02 - 01:45 PM Richie, I'd appreciate it if you would wait-- I want to start a Part Two of this thread. Some of the songs will go there, but some will need to go into older, existing threads. I'll leave word here on that, starting on Thursday, OK? I have a biz trip tomorrow and Wednesday first. I also have Gary's chords to a lot of them and we need to get them posted in the same place as the lyrics. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Pete Peterson Date: 08 Oct 02 - 11:22 AM I'm sure glad somebody is doing this-- Poole's lyrics and songs deserve a wider circulation than he's gotten. Never understood why standard string band confguration includes a clawhammer banjo and not a three finger Poole-style banjo. Gary, Susan-- THANKS!!!!!!!!! more comments later |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Pete Peterson Date: 09 Oct 02 - 03:52 PM Hey-- thanks again! where did that third verse for Old and Gray come from?? |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: wysiwyg Date: 09 Oct 02 - 03:54 PM Pete-- because there are not enough Debby McClatchys to go around? *G* ~S~ |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Richie Date: 09 Oct 02 - 10:03 PM Pete- The third verse posted by Gary didn't come from Poole and there are some slight changes in lyrics . The original "Old and Only in the Way" was copyrighted in 1880 by Downey and Billings. I don't have the original lyrics. Perhaps it's Fiddlin' John Carson's. -Richie |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: Jim Krause Date: 09 Oct 02 - 11:56 PM Pete, well I know of one old-time string band that does make use of three finger (modified) Charlie Poole style banjo playing on occasion. The Euphoria String Band does some of Charlie Poole's material. Jim |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Richie Date: 10 Oct 02 - 12:03 AM It's interesting to note that Poole copied the classical style of Fred Van Eps, and his later recordings involve rolls similar to the style Earl Scruggs would later define. -Richie |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Richie Date: 10 Oct 02 - 11:38 PM Susan, I think Gary has done a great job presenting Charlie's work both on his web-site and on this thread. I'm not sure what format you want me to present lyrics and info. I don't have all of Poole's recording's but I have his lyrics and I can use the info Kinney Rorrer has plus add in what I have. I'm swamped right now with some performances this weekend but should be free next week to help. Let me know what I can do. -Richie |

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: Ron Olesko Date: 05 Nov 02 - 02:28 PM Speaking of Charlie Poole, this Sunday 11/10 at 4pm I will be broadcasting a program of Charlie Poole music. My guest will be Kinney Rorrer, author of the book "Rambling Blues: The Songs and Story of Charlie Poole". Kinney is also related to Posey Rorrer, the fiddler in the original North Carolina Ramblers. You can listen to TRADITIONS on WFDU-FM, 89.1FM in the NYC area or via the internet at www.wfdu.fm Hope you can tune in! Kinney had some fascinating stories about Poole, a larger than life character. Of course we will feature a number of great Poole tunes! Ron Olesko Producer/Host WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS |

Subject: Lyr Add: SWEET SUNNY SOUTH (Charlie Poole) From: Richie Date: 19 Nov 02 - 09:55 AM Lry. Add: SWEET SUNNY SOUTH Charlie Poole Take me back to a place where I first saw the light, To the sweet sunny south take me home. Where the mockingbirds sang me to rest ev'ry night, Oh, why was I tempted to roam? I think of regret of the dear home I left, Of the warm hearts who cheered me then. Of the wife and the dear ones of whom I'm bereft, An s sight of the old place again. Take me home to a place where my little ones sleep And old Massa lies buried nearby O'er the graves of my loved ones I long there to weep And among them to rest and to die Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow To my cot in the evergreen shade Where the flowers on the river's green margin they grow They are sweet on the banks where we played 'Til the path to our cottage they say has grown green The place is quite lonely around And I know that the smiles and the forms I have seen Now lies in the cold mossy ground Take me back, let me see what is left that I knew Can it be that the old house is gone? Dear friends of my childhood indeed must be few And now I must face death all alone not a Poole verse Take me home to a place where my little ones sleep And old Massa lies buried nearby O'er the graves of my loved ones I long there to weep And among them to rest and to die Notes: Charlie Poole's North Carolina Ramblers version from Kinney Rorrer's book 'Rambling Blues.' Poole recorded this in NY on May 7, 1929, CO-15425-D. It was first done by the North Carolina Ramblers in 1927, Chicago, Ill. with Roy Harvey- Vocal. Printed versions, under a number of titles, were usually credited to either 'Raymond' or else 'W. L. Bloomfield (in the 1850's). The cover of an 1850's music sheet is reprinted with the notes to the version recorded by Kentucky fiddle-player Buddy Thomas on his album Kitty Puss (Rounder CD 0032). Laws has two versions. This is the version that starts "Take me back to a place where I first saw the light, To the sweet sunny south take me home" a longing for teh South. It should not to be confused with "The Sweet Sunny South (I)" [Laws A23], a (Confederate) soldier's farewell. The other version in the DT "To the Sweet Sunny South" resembles Poole's version but is not his version. -Richie |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: Richie Date: 19 Nov 02 - 10:12 AM Joe Offer- This verse should be deleted from Poole's version: Take me back, let me see what is left that I knew Can it be that the old house is gone? Dear friends of my childhood indeed must be few And now I must face death all alone Sorry, I used a different version to reduce typing, then edited it. I Forgot to remove the verse. -Richie |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Sep 04 - 01:54 PM Over the last couple weeks, I made up a new promo brochure for Debby McClatchy. In exchange for the layout, she gave me some songbooks - including Kinney Rorrer's Rambling Blues. I think the Rorrer book includes ALL of Poole's lyrics, but I'm not sure of that. There aren't THAT many songs in the book. For printing, Debby paid me cash. I thought I'd spend the cash (about $50 left after materials purchase) on some Charlie Poole CD's. Can anybody make any recommendations? there are lots of Poole CD's available, but many of them share the same tracks. Are there three or four CD's I can buy that will give me much of what Poole recorded, without duplicating tracks? -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Hootenanny Date: 02 Sep 04 - 05:26 PM Joe, Check out County Sales; www.countysales.com down in Floyd, Virginia. Excellent mail order service, I've been dealing with them for over 30 years. I'm not sure if it is one or two CD's that they have of Poole on their own label which was once the only source for his re-issued material on vinyl. As you will have seen from Kinney's book most of Poole's material is from sheet music from the late 1800's but what he did with it was great. I still have one two of his 78's. You might(?) see other compilations of Poole but I would recommend the County's for sound and general overall production. Good listening |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: dick greenhaus Date: 02 Sep 04 - 05:48 PM County has the three CDs of Poole with the North Carolina Ramblers. Juneberry (available at CAMSCO, too) has "Charlie Poole-The Remaining Sides" |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: NormanD Date: 19 Aug 09 - 03:08 PM I'm reviving this old thread. Loudon Wainwright was on the radio tonight (BBC Radio 2, Mike Harding) talking about his forthcoming 2Xcd of songs of Charlie Poole. If anyone (like I was) is now looking for lyrics / chords, just go here. Thanks for all that past work. |
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: Desert Dancer Date: 19 Aug 09 - 03:53 PM For those on the other side of the pond (sometimes the BBC online players don't work for us), there's Terry Gross's "Fresh Air" interview on NPR: A 'Handsome' Tribute From Loudon Wainwright: August 19, 2009 - The latest project from famed singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III is a double-album tribute to another musician entirely. Called High Wide and Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project, it's a celebration of the old-time country banjo player, who died in 1931. Wainwright and producer Dick Connette dug into Charlie Poole's recordings — and into Kinney Rorrer's biography, Ramblin' Blues — eventually writing nine new songs about the life and times of a man they celebrate as a country-music pioneer. Wainwright began his own career three decades after Poole's death, making a name for himself in the '60s with humorous and autobiographical songs. In 1972, on his Album III, he scored the Top 40 hit "Dead Skunk," and since then he's recorded 20 albums. Wainwright co-wrote (with Joe Henry) the music for the film Knocked Up; as an actor, he's appeared in that film and many other movies and TV shows, from three episodes of the 1970s hit M*A*S*H to this summer's family comedy G-Force. His own family is famously musical: Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright, both singer-songwriters, are Wainwright's children with ex-wife Kate McGarrigle, herself a noted folk singer. ~ Becky in Tucson |

Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest From: GUEST,Eunice Rice - Eden, NC Date: 07 Jun 12 - 05:53 PM I have three Charlie Poole's Early Albums recorded between 1925 - 1930. One is a Limited Collectors Edition. One is County 540 - Volume 4, the Limited Edition is County 505 and the last one is The Legend of Charlie Poole all with the NC Ramblers and the last album I listed is 515. Lots of biography written on the back of all the albums. They all are 33 1/2 rpm.I inherited these from my Dad's Estate and would like to sell them if anyone is interested. Not sure what they are worth but for a Collector and a devout follower of Charlie Poole they should be worth quite a bit. I'd like to get at least $25.00 each from them. My email is etrice18@yahoo.com if anyone is interested and the Charlie Poole Festival is this Friday and Sat. in the Spray area. June 8 and June 9. Thanks! |
