Mik2	Origins: Sam McGee Victory Rag (8)	RE: Origins: Sam McGee Victory Rag	25 Dec 13
According to the New Lost City Ramblers Folkways LP ' String Band Instrumentals ': Maybelle Carter learned the tune from a guitar player at the Old Dominion Barn Dance, Richmond, Virginia in the 1950s. (Name of the guitarist is not known). She recorded it the first time in 1963/64 for the 'Smash' Records label '' Mother Maybelle Carter - Pickin' and Singin' (MGS 27041 /SRS 67041) Possibly it can exist on earlier survived radio recordings, but I haven't seen it. Smash LP album info Smash label history with this LP included The NLCRs version was learned directly from Maybelle in '63 - soundclip is at Smithsonian Folkways. Here is Maybelle with Ike Everly playing Victor(y) Rag (matching audio and film)
