Hi,

Brown's Ferry was one of the disputed songs, I think it was Slim Bryant one of the late Skillet Lickers around 1929 that played with Mac in Louisville for the Wildcats who told me about Big River, we talked about hundreds of songs- and he would say "Oh yeah I know who really wrote that song- but don't tell anyone I told you :)"

He was 103 when I started interviewing him- and he still played guitar. I called him at least 8 times, he was very patient with me because I didn't know many of the people he knew or the venues.

Slim played some of the last Jimmy Rodgers sessions and Mac played on one.
