Miscreant, can you cite these 'Uncle Dave' compilations? As I pointed out earlier in this thread, from a perusal of the Bear Family discography, Russell's discography and Meade's discography, Uncle Dave never recorded C-H-I-C-K-E-N. The only commercial old-time recordings indicated in these discographies were by the McGee Brothers (1927), Kirk McGee (1927), Asa Martin (1933 under the title 'Ragtime Chicken Joe' and Tobacco Tags (1939 under the title 'De Way to Spell Chicken'.

In 1924, Uncle Dave would have been 52, not 70.
