The Jimmie Rogers museum in Meridian, MS, is a very nice and worthwhile stop on the way to New Orleans.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:10pm
D Rok:

Ah, Jimmie Rodgers. The Elmo of his day. "T for Texas. T for Tennessee."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:12pm
D Rok:

But also kind of the Warren G of his day? His Gamblin' Barroom Blues isn't terribly unlike 'Regulate' where storytelling is concerned.
Avatar 8:12pm
Becky:

I'm not sure Elmo would have spelled out "T for Thelma" etc.!

A couple of these prob Camden, NJ.

@kwatts "In The Jailhouse Now" definitely was Camden!

Hi, Becky! If I'm not mistaken, that was Dippermouth on the cornet.

Becky, I almost never comment but I love your show every week. I always look forward to it. Thank you so much for all this great interesting music.

Loving the Jimmie Rodgers tunes, but the pedant in me wonders what's wrong with Blue Yodel No.7

When I was at the Armstrong House Museum in Queens (highly recommended!), the docent told me that he called himself "Lew-is", but his last wife called him "Lew-ee".

Ah, you did acknowledge and verify, even if you went agnostic on pronunciation of Louis' given name (which I believe he himself pronounced as "Lewis").
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:33pm

Cursed. Play it and a little girl comes out of a well in seven days and kills you

PJ:

I also found out that people called him "Pops" because that was how he addressed people when he couldn't remember their name.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:34pm
D Rok:

Isn't it nice when Gaylord just pops in with useful information?

Hi Gaylord!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:35pm
steveo:

there's a somewhat inconclusive section of Armstrong's wikipedia page about his name pronunciation en.wikipedia.org... (which cites two other sources)
Avatar 8:35pm
Becky:

@Gaylord When I went to the Louis Armstrong House I too heard the same story as PJ! So was never sure.

D Rok:

YES!

@D Rok: Hi! My calling card says "Dirty Pedantry Done Dirt Cheap"!

@Becky: It's the same as how here among intimates you're known as "Becky" but professionally you go by "Beckettford."

Isn't it nice when Gaylord just pops in with jokes?

it's possible I typed this before but this version of "In The Jailhouse Now" is a pretty good duet song
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:49pm
steveo:

I'm gonna call him Lewis from now on :)
Loving the show tonight...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:49pm
D Rok:

Does anyone know what the reasoning is behind the changing lyrics of In The Jailhouse Now? Cash's version has significantly different lyrics than the J Rodgers version. The version on the Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack has entirely different lyrics still. It seems the lyrics of that song are rather fluid.
Avatar 8:52pm
Becky:

@D Rok - I think Jimmie Rodgers's songs, including T for Texas, almost immediately became "standards", which lent themselves to interpretation. They obviously were deeply influenced by Black jazz songs before him, so -- why not?
Avatar 8:53pm
Becky:

(*jazz and blues)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:53pm
D Rok:

@Becky: That's kind of what I had figured. Seems as good of an explanation as any.
  8:54pm
BH:

also if you're not doing yodeling, there's some extra room to get creative with the cover

To clarify, I was referring to the Willie Nelson/Webb Pierce "In the Jailhouse Now" from their 1982 album a few minutes ago.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:55pm
Gaylord Fields:

Aaron Neville sure was a man who was born to yodel!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:55pm
D Rok:

@BH: That's true! If memory serves, in the Cash version, he just says "yodel boy," and then there's a guitar solo.

good move.. if the big records aren't steady, they could tip over
