'Buck Dancer's Choice' was Sam McGee's very first recording - for Vocalion in New York in April 1926. It has been reissued on CD on Sam McGee 'Complete Recorded Works 1926-34' Document DOCD-8036. In his notes to the CD, Charles Wolfe explains that Sam accompanied Uncle Dave Macon to New York in April 1926 for a marathon recording session. In between sessions, Sam was sitting around picking and the recording engineer, Jack Kapp, was impressed and asked him why he didn't make a record. Sam said that he didn't think he was good enough. However, Kapp prevailed and Sam recorded 'Buck Dancer's Choice' and 'Franklin Blues'. Wolfe comments that 'Buck Dancer's Choice' was a piece that Sam had strung together to play for 'Dancing Bob' Bradford, a buck-dancer who often toured with Uncle Dave.--Stewie.
