Thread Name: Jimmie Rodgers (Honeycomb)
Subject: RE: Jimmie Rodgers (Honeycomb)
I agree with Marty D. Jimmy 'Honeycomb' Rogers is MOST DEF. NOT Jimmy Rogers Snow......Hank's son. There is a terrific late fifties film clip of Jimmy Rogers Snow in his church and in Hell-Fire Preacher mode railing against the dangers of Rock 'n Roll and esp. the dangers of white kids being seduced by "The Beat!! The Beat!! (to quote J.R.S). No, Jimmy 'Honeycomb' Rogers is..thankfully...not Hank's '(as an earlier posting said) 'strange' son. and a PS. His got his 50's pop hit 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine' , from Pete Seeger who wrote the song as an adaption of an Irish tune ' An Drionaan Donn. The plot thickens. TBR.
