Thread Name: Songs by Charlie Poole
Subject: RE: Any Charlie Poole interest
Rick,

Yes, Kinney and Doug (a great flatpicker) Rorrer are related to Posey Rorer (only one r). Doug told me he was his great uncle. I don't know why the spelling is different. I'll find out more this weekend when I'm up in Eden.

Gutbucketeer's post "My Wife Went Away And Left Me" was a tune Poole learned from Kelly Harrell, which was based on Charles Vann's 1889 song, "Then my Darling I'll come Back to Thee".
