The only Ted Hawkins I know was the one who recorded in the 2nd incarnation of Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers (best known for Hawkins' Rag, which for a lot of us who listened to the New Lost City Ramblers was our first mandolin piece!) I know next to nothing about him but believe he was once written up in the Old Time Herald. As Ernestine didn't say-- is this the person (of) whom (you) are speaking? Or a different Ted Hawkins. . .that business about the glove makes me think of Michael Jackson
