Jimmie Rodgers is my Great Uncle. My dad traveled w/ Him NY etc.- My dad & mom loved his music & had a GREAT fondness/love for Elsie McWilliams (my great Aunt)who asst. in writing many of his songs. I remember (as a child) Elvis Presley singing at the "memorial day" & during the eve. in my great aunt's back yard/drive way--of course before his great popularity! Many of the family w/ the great memories have passed away joining J. Rodgers--but it was great FUN!!
