Thanks Hoot, I don't think Tony Russell knows the other fiddler in that session but he might know the date. I have it as June 7, 1925, which needs corroboration. At the session was the first recording of Chinese Breakdown. I'll check out Fiddlin' Gone Crazy because all these musicians were from the Atlanta area except maybe Byrd Moore Earl's first guitar player. Ther's not much on Moore and no one lists him as living in Georgia, but I guess he had to since he played with the Dixie Entertainers. Still don't know enough about the Dixie String Band other than five or six rotating players. McMichen is listed as belonging so I'm guessing it has to be before the Skillet Lickers in 1926-27. Richie
