fixbutte 16th Apr 2015		You're obviously right with your explanation here, Boursin, although there are other videos blocked in several countries for different reasons. When making the record notes, I noticed too that Jimmie Davis had reached such a biblical age - good for him, bad for me by GEMA standards.



Boursin 16th Apr 2015		The blocking of videos in Germany is done by GEMA, the composers and lyricists' copyright society. They're foolish to do it, but they are within their rights. All records released before 1963 are in the public domain in Europe, but Jimmie Davis only died in 2000 (aged 101!), so his words and music are themselves still in copyright until the year 2071.



fixbutte 16th Apr 2015		Thanks for adding the video, xiphophilos. Unfortunately, like many of the countless videos added by BigBadBluesMan (thanks for that, man!), it is not available in Germany - and probably in some other countries either. It's a pity that these old recordings that should have been public domain for many years are so often blocked in Europe. I hope that at last those who have access to the valuable videos do enjoy the music.

fixbutte 14th Apr 2015		Comment from the original contributor (thebluesneverdie), moved to here from the record notes: Incredible track from future governor of Louisiana. Such valuations, although very welcome to 78 RPM, actually don't belong to the record notes. I've added some factual notes there instead. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity the hear these sides completely. Judging from the snippets on AMG, they seem very interesting, featuring the fine steel guitar of Ed "Dizzy Head" Schaffer on "Get On Board, Aunt Susan". TheHoundBlog has an interesting page about the early Jimmie Davis recordings, "some truly sleazy and wonderful country blues tunes".
