That name is unfamiliar to me. Can anyone tell me something about him and if there are recordings with him on them? Thanks, Murray |

He made some records with a band called Peg Leg Howell and his gang in the '20's and '30's, and made a now out-of-print album on Testament records in the '60's. |

I was unaware of the Testament recording, however, and that may be what you're after. The only Charters collection I have is on Folkways. Sandy |
