J.E. was Wade's brother. J.E. died about thrity years ago. They played together back in the twentys and thirtys. I forgot why they split-up. J.E. went on to play, with the Carters. in Mexico during the depression. I think that Wade got out of the business for decades, as did J.E. I really like J.E.'s stuff. Like with so many other musicians, very little of his stuff was recorded for posterity.
