I just wanted to add some information on Memphis Jug Band,Will Shade (AKA: Son Brimmer born Feb. 8,1889,in Memphis Tennessee)had started the Memphis Jug Band,the band became very popular playing on Beale street,Church park,in Feb. 1927,the Memphis Jug Band first recorded for RCA label,this band recorded 57 sides over the next four years. By 1930,no less than seven different jug bands were active in Memphis,The Memphis Jug Band was so popular,that they would often split into two groups to play gigs on the same night,Included in this band were,Will Shade,Furry Lewis and Casey Bill Weldon,from 1927-1934 the Memphis Jug band recorded over 100 songs.I've had people email me about records,altho,records are not in excellent condition,all my records do play through without skips,I try to grade as I hear them.As stated record are still dirty,if they play without skipping dirty,they will play better when cleaned.I'm trying all I know to be very honest.
