DESCRIPTION:
I do not own the copyrights to these recordings. This video is for historical and educational purposes.

After making their last recordings for Victor in 1930, and before their recordings for OKeh in 1934, members of the Memphis Jug Band recorded as the Picaninny Jug Band in 1932. On this Varsity issue they were billed as the Dallas Jug Band, having absolutely nothing to do with Dallas, Texas.

Members and instrumentation are interchangable on both recordings, so certain members may be playing different instruments between both songs. The session information here is vague at best.

Will Shade:Harmonica

Jab Jones:Jug

Charlie Burse:Vocals & Guitar
