Thread Name: Jimmie F. Rodgers - where is he?
Subject: RE: JIMMIE F. RODGERS- where is he?
My dad had many of his records that I listened too when I was a kid, and I loved his voice. Looking back, I don't much like most of his arrangements for the folk songs he recorded, but his versions of traditional songs such as Lord Randall are part of what put me on the path to being a 'traddie'. I'm glad he's doing well. I recall seeing him on an interview program after his accident, and he obviously was in bad shape. That must have been some time in the late sixties. I'm glad he is well now.
