Hi Stewie - Ol' King Street sometimes makes mistakes ! The Whistler version was 1924 not '22, sorry. The liner notes you quote are much the same as in the book, but expanded. I see in my Red Lick Records mail order catalogue (they are in Porthmadog, Wales) that there is a DVD (YAZOO YAZDV512) "Times ain't like they used to be - early American rural & popular music" which has footage of Whistlers Jug Band. I know that a film was made of WJB in '30s but I am not clear as to whether it actually has a sound track. Red Lick are at www.redlickrecords.com However,their DVD's may be formatted for use in Europe only, but as YAZOO is a US label there must be a version compatible for the US. Or maybe I'am worrying about nothing here !
