I can't listen to Jimmy without crying. It brings back memories of our life in the 1930s at the end of the Great Depression. I remember being grateful for meals of grits with a little salt, of white blocks of oleo margarine that we sprinkled the yellow powder into so it would look like butter. I remember the milk bottles on our front porch with the cardboard caps and the cream floating at the top. I recall the ice box with the drip pan under it and the scrubbing board. Too many memories to list here. Nobody has time to read that much.

Jimmie was the first music star for the cameras. Everyone else from that period is accessed just through the audio recordings. But Jimmie basically pioneered the idea of the musician, on-screen performer, leading to Elvis and everyone after that. And this can be basically seen as the start of music videos. He had natural onscreen charisma. Its a shame he never did any films or shorts after this.

I’ve listened to Jimmie Rodger’s music most of my life, and I can easily hear his influence on the music I play today. A little J.R. history, if I may: Rodger’s Dad was a foreman with the Railroad which caused Jimmie to grow up around trains and train yards, where he learned to sing and play the guitar. Being taught by white and black railroad workers, he merged Country music and the Blues. And by adding his distinctive yodel to the sound, he made it his own. By the time he was 14, he was a full-fledged brakeman and was riding trains all over the country. He incorporated his train knowledge and railroad travels to different states into the songs he wrote. For instance, in “T for Texas,” he sings about Texas, Tennessee, Georgia and Atlanta, and in many of his other songs, he sings about several other cities and states that he visited. By adding his many train adventures; his happy-go-lucky confidence; love travails in various cities; and his sassy sense of humor to his Bluesy Country music; he endeared himself to millions of people all over the country during the hard times of the Depression. But it was the trains and the Blues that made the difference between him and other singers and connected him so well with the public by singing about their cities, their states, and their troubles. He was the Elvis Presley or Beatles of his day and remains to be the greatest, single influence on American music. But let's not forget Rodger's sister-in-law, Elsie McWilliams of Meridian, MS, who wrote the majority of Jimmie's songs. Even though Rodger's eight years of popularity was during the depth of the Depression, Jimmie's simple man's songs, being highly influenced by Elsie's lyrics of faith, family, home and sweethearts, made their songs of hard times and heartaches treasured by the American public. Sorry for being so long winded. . .

That is what they did when President Abe Lincoln was killed. The funeral train was made to travel through cities that weren't part of the shortest way back to his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. Telegraph lines were utilized to let rail stations along the way know if the train was on schedule. At each major city, the train would stop and the coffin would be taken to a place where people could file past to pay their respects. And a memorial service could be held. A timetable would be published in newspapers, so mourners could gather along the railroad tracks in rural areas to view Lincoln (a special rail car with glass walls enabled them to see him). Poet Walt Whitman wrote a vivid description of the spectacle in his poem "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed." Those of us who are old enough to remember the assassination of JFK have experienced something similar.

They offered it to the Smithsonian, but when they wouldn't guarantee it would even be on display the family put it in a tiny private museum in Mississippi. They do keep it in a vault but the front of the vault is see-through and you can look at it. I may need to drive down someday, it's in the same town as Peavey. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lWia1YGGqJRoaXo

Darn it, this is so great. The summer of 1971 my family spent traveling around campgrounds in the Midwest- Indiana, Illinois Missouri. The best culture this country ever produced was the culture of the South, Midwest and the West.

Jimmie was my dad's favorite singer. He was a young man during the time that Jimmie was popular. I grew up listening to this music and I really appreciate the posting of this. My dad would have loved it. It is a shame that this technology wasn't around when he was alive 32 years ago. RIP, Daddy...

As Ken Burns' documentary makes clear, this father of country music got his style and many of his melodies from black musicians who sang and played the blues! That's America, folks: we're all in this together.

My father and I Calvin Rogers 1941 from Nacadoches would sing these together and howl at the moon.. I got a call from my sister on Monday, July 12th that my father was found dead...He told me they are 2 4 ..4 4 on the guitar.. My grandmas favorite music along with The Carter Family etc. My Uncle Jimmie i remember him he lived in Nacadoches aswell Was named after Jimmie Rodgers. My dad told me.. I spent alot of time with my father. I lived with him for 3 months.. I also have been his NEIGHBOR😅 My father also said that Every Jimmie Rodgers song tells a story..and that Jimmie wrote alot of songs about his mama.. My dad was really close to his mama.. I remember my Grandma when I was a little girl! " "Thelma Louise Wise" she was born in 1914. My dad's father was named "Floyd Elvis Rogers" I dont know what year he was born🤔.. My dad told me that i needed to learn how to play "Wildwoodflower" I found a Fender Squire at Goodwill on 1960 and 45 for $25. I got it restrung. Kept it strung right handed... My dad has held it a few times and ive noticed when i go back and look at the pictures and video. My dad. Calvin. Holds it right handed aswell🤔 like I do.. Im Kimmeigh Rogers 100 years later writing songs about her Daddy.. Ive witten one so far in 2019I believe was the year... Still have it.. I wrote it on paper stuck it in an envelope and mailed it to myself... Poor mans paten.. I still have the sealed envelope Its called. "The Bolivar Penal" 2019

First saw and heard the blue yodel extract somewhere near 2001, when I was a kid. Thanks to first part of the Beatles Anthology that my parents bought me then (as I loved old stuff including Beatles, as much as classical music). Even I didn't understand the lyrics at that time --- i am french ---, I have never forgot this strange guitar singer and his way to reach us directly with a few simple things. I have only recognized recently the Blue Yodel resurgence in George Harrison's posthumous album, in "Rocking chair in Hawaii". Proof of the deep influence he could have had over nearly one century.

I remember my Mamaw telling about her mother and siblings sitting around the radio in the kitchen and Great-Granny crying when they announced that Jimmie Rodgers had died - they loved him because he was one of them and sang about poor, hardworking folks. Hard to believe that was around 87 years ago...
