Talk:Carl Hogan

1940 Census
In the 1940 US Census, there is listed - here - a Carl Hogan, musician, aged 22, "negro", born in Arkansas. This would give his birth date as about 1918. He is lodging, in Conway, Arkansas, with a bunch of other black musicians - Napoleon Fuller (age 26, "orchestra leader"), John T Brown (23), Emmett Carter (21), Lewis Robinson (21), H L Williamson (19), Robert Walker (18), and General Walker (22). This is pure original research from primary sources and therefore inappropriate for the article - but does it help anyone else in researching Hogan's background? The names of the other musicians mean nothing to me, but may mean something to those with more expert knowledge of the bands around in Arkansas at that time.

 * Just noticed that this source - highly reputable in my view - takes that census record as being "our" Carl Hogan - though the book suggests he was born in Alabama, and the census gives Arkansas. Hmm..   Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:59, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Possible confusion
There were at least two musicians called Carl Hogan - one was a singer in the Valentines - here and here - and I'm pretty sure he was not the same man as Louis Jordan's guitarist. I strongly suspect that the songwriting mentioned in this article was by the Valentines' Hogan, and not Louis Jordan's Hogan. Can anyone confirm this? Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:41, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks like it's a problem with the cited webpage. I've removed the following content until it can be verified one way or another.  matt (talk) 09:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
