I just listened to Sideline Blues with Clarence Ashley (sounded like him singing anyway) and Gwen Foster on some excellent cross harp from the 20s. Anybody notice it's almost exactly the same song as "let me be your sidetrack" Jimmie Rodgers recorded later?
Not to take anything away from Jimmie, but he was always scrambling for verses, since Peer had him recording as much stuff as possible before Jimmie died.
