I remember Pete being near the top of the posts, but don't remember seeing Mike Seeger mentioned. Jeff Davis deserves great esteem, as do all the mentioned devotees of Mr Proffitt, notably Jeff Warner. Everyone mentioned deserves the mention. If you take a 90 degree turn from Charlie Poole toward the Dixieland practitioners of the same period, you'd arrive at the contemporary Don Vappe, a Louisiana blues (tenor) banjo player, but you'd be completely removed from the intent of the original question in the thread.:) Carter
