It looks like he lived a pretty earthy life - not quite as earthy as Hank Williams, perhaps, but good enough for its time. I wonder how he really got on with the Carter family who, I gather, were fairly strait-laced.

On the record: (perhaps)

Carter person: "Why, look who's here - it's Jimmie Rodgers."

Jimmie: "Howdy folks - if you don't want to smell my smoke...[etc.]"

Strange silence on the part of the assorted Carters...
