Hi Randy. Find the other photo of him with the cigarette in his mouth and compare it with this one. Taken the same day!
Very interesting reading, is that H.C. Speir operated a mercantile and record store in downtown Jackson, MS (my hometown) in the 20’s and 30’s. He acted as a talent scout, and auditioned local talent. The ones he thought were good enough, he would arrange for them to be recorded with one of several major recording companies. The greatest bluesmen in history auditioned for him - Charley Patton, Skip James, Son House, RJ, etc. So he was responsible for these greats being recorded - and the rest is history.
