[edit] Bristol Sessions

I live near where the sessions were recorded, and am quite an authority on the sessions. I'm 99% sure he never recorded at the Bristol sessions.

[edit] Bristol Sessions edit

I have completely removed the Bristol reference. Uncle Dave did not participate in what was known as the Bristol sessions (a cursory glance at the page will tell you that), and the Bristol sessions were not in a recording studio built so musicians didn't have to go to New York City. They were held over a weekend or so in a converted warehouse by Ralph Peer on a 'talent hunt', so to speak. In any case, Macon had nothing to do with them and even if he did, the factual information about the sessions was incorrect. Uncle Dave deserves a nice big article, but that section needed to be ousted. Jason 17:46, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More

A sentence or two was added regarding Judge Hay's anger over the name 'Fruit Jar Drinkers'. This may be well and good, but there was no documentation and it was written rather poorly, and just tacked on to the article. I have reverted back to a previous version.
