Sorry. I haven't dug up a photo of the Dixon Brothers yet.
The MP3 file should start playing automatically after a couple minutes depending on your connection speed. If it shouldn't and you would just like to download it right click here and than save to wherever you designate.
I don't know why I thought of Leigh when I put this song up here. Just kiddin' Leigh. Get ready for a few surprises. Now your going to hear some 70 year old original "Old-Time" recordings from the Appalachian's. I dusted off some old records I bought many years ago to bring you this first selection. Can you hear RTT doing this one. Would that be Thomas or Roy doing the lead?
Now that you've been warmed up by listening to the "Intoxicated Rat" are you ready for an "Old Time" music challenge. If so, go to the Old Old Time index and see how many tunes you can figure out. If you can get 4 or more both artist and song correct, I'll give you an "A" towards your "Old Time" Appalachian Music degree. If you don't care to enter the contest but just want to enjoy listening to some seventy year old recordings, that's fine with me.
