Yes, we musicians can name some players of that time, but I doubt if the 
general population  can.

oh c'mon now, I'm no music historian but Victor Herbert, Theodore Morse and 
John Philip Sousa were around during that time surly most of you regognize 
those names.  Oh you're a blues musician? Ever hear of Rev Gary Davis I 
believe he was playing around that time. I think DeFord Bailey came up in 
about 1910. Not sure on that...but it was way back then. Gus Cannon and Noah 
Lewis, hey he's a harmonica player. how many of you own Gus Cannon's Jug 
Stompers CD?

People will be remember and those are the folks off the top of my head.
