Talk:1922 in country music

Recording by Eck Robertson on Victor Talking Machine Company in 1922
REQUEST EDIT

REGARDING THE INFORMATION ABOUT ECK ROBERTSON/FIDDLER AND THE RECORDING AT VICTOR TALKING MACHINE COMPANY IN 1922 - ON THIS SAME RECORDING WAS HENRY CLAY GILLILAND WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED THE LEAD - MR. GILLILAND WAS 77 YEARS OF AGE WHEN HE WENT TO NEW YORK CITY WITH ROBERTSON TO "RECORD" SOME TUNES. MANY BOOKS/ARTICLES CAN AFFIRM THIS ALONG WITH INFORMATION ABOUT GILLILAND CALLED "COUNTRY MUSIC'S CONFEDERATE GRANDFATHER." HE ENTERED CONTESTS IN OKLAHOMA/TEXAS AND WAS FIRST IN MOST OF THEM AND CONSIDERED "WORLD'S GREATEST FIDDLER" DURING HIS LIFETIME. SINCE HE DIED IN 1924 AT AGE 79, AND TWO YEARS AFTER THE RECORDING SESSION, HE WOULD NOT BE MORE RECOGNIZED AS ECK ROBERTSON WHO WAS VERY YOUNG AT THE TIME. IF YOU GOOGLE "HENRY C. GILLILAND" YOU WILL FIND AN ACTUAL RECORDING OF THE TWO SONGS PLAYED AS DUETS AND ALSO ALL THE ARTICLES THAT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT MR. GILLILAND. I AM A DISTANT RELATIVE OF HIS - JUST WANT TO SEE HIM GET THE CREDIT HE IS DUE.
