I understand it was credited to Acuff-Rose, but the original author was someone else. What is the first known recording of this song? Written by Dorsey Dixon, based on a true event, and recorded by the Dixon Brothers in approx. 1936. Mary Katherine
Re: Mickey Baker
In a message dated 99-02-26 12:28:58 EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Guitarist MICKEY BAKER. The 74 year old musician is about to receive a pioneer award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation for his work as a sideman on hundreds of recordings of RB and rock roll records from the 50's and 60's. He recorded with Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Ruth Brown, and many more. The Awards banquet takes place in L.A. February 25th. (The Rhythm and Blues Foundation is located in Washington D.C.) I attended the awards show last night, and met Mickey Baker, and heard his brief live performance during the show. He's kept up his chops amazingly well for someone who has been quite ill for a long time. The award was presented by Travis Tritt, Marty Stuart and Ray Benson. Mary Katherine
Ralph Stanley last night
Saw Ralph Stanley the Clinch Mountain Boys last night at McCabe's in Santa Monica, CA. The chance to see him in a small (110-seat) club was too good to miss. His voice is as stunning as ever, and he still parts your hair with the high notes. They did a ferocious second show, near the end of which Ralph apologized for cutting it short by saying that he had just gotten a call that his wife's brother had died and he was flying home the next morning. I don't know whether any shows on the current tour will be cancelled; hope not! If they play anywhere near you, this is so much the real thing i don't even have to explain it (I hope). Btw the mercantile division is still going strong despite Curly Ray's loss; they had RS and Stanley Bros. CDs and cassettes as well as the same for just about each band member, two videos, four different t-shirts, two bumperstickers, and a Ryman Aud. seat pad!

Re: Garth plays ball (was:Buckner, free agent status?)
Wait, stop, halt, desist, come back. Are you guys *serious*? I thought the first few posts were jokes. Is Garth Brooks *really* joining the Pod People? Come on, surely they don't take celebrities seriously enough to actually field them in a game that counts!! Let him sing the National Anthem, sure. Throw out the opening day pitch, maybe. But play pro ball? Surely you jest! Mary Katherine
