Went to see Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives last night. They play a lot of older country, folk and gospel. Amazing band of musicians. If you ever get the chance, go see them.
Marty is great and his voice is incredible. Kenny Vaughan is one of the best guitar players out there, Harry Stinson while a very good drummer has an amazing singing voice and range, as is his Bass player Chris Scruggs. Really cool to see such a tight band of amazing musicians.

Scruggs is an amazing guitarist in his own right, and an excellent steel guitar player as well.

Paramount Pictures made a movie to capitalize on Kate Smith's radio popularity, entitled "Hello, Everybody" in 1933. Her leading-man was none other than a young Randolph Scott, but in the film he (naturally) only has eyes for her pretty sister Sally Blane. I have an old bootleg VHS copy of it around here somewhere. It's nothing too special, though.
Two of Kate Smith's earliest recordings were with a Red Nichols outfit under the name of "The Charlston Chasers," in 1927, and they are pretty jazzy, unlike her later pop-ballad style she's associated with.

How about the great Lightnin’ Hopkins. I stumbled into Jay’s outside of Lafayette one night years ago and Lightnin’ was playing. Clifton Chenier was also there. Lightnin’ played “Yardman Blues”

An exhaustive internet search revealed no further information on Dusty "Cal" (and I mean NADA - not one Google result, nothing)

Billy Murray & Ed Smalle - "That Old Gang Of Mine" (1923)
From the comments:

quote:
This song is a gut wrencher. The subtext being that he’s the only one of the gang that survived the war, and now he’s this old man standing alone on the corner, remembering when he had friends and a life. He can still recognize the buildings, but no one he used to know. Just an invisible old man watching strangers living in his old home. After surviving the horrors of war, he’s just alone now. It’s bitter sweet though. The melody has a nostalgic quality to it, a sort of joy in remembering when life was good. But it’s all gone now.

Was the tune "Wedding Bells (are breaking up that old gang of mine)" perhaps something of a comedic variation or sequel to that song? It apparently came a few years later. I recall encountering a 1929 recording of it from Harry Reser, among others.

I meant to research the connection between the two but never got around to it.
