Events

Rodgers makes his first recordings August 4 for the Victor Talking Machine Company at Bristol, Tennessee; the songs are “The Soldier’s Sweetheart” and “Sleep, Baby, Sleep."
The Carter Family's recordings are also made that month; their first release is the double-sided hit "Wandering Boy" and "Poor Orphan Child."

Note: "MY MOTHER WAS A LADY" was originally titled "IF BROTHER JACK WERE HERE". First pressings of Victor 21433 show the incorrect title, subsequent pressings were corrected to read MY MOTHER WAS A LADY with IF BROTHER JACK WERE HERE in parenthesis.
