In this same time frame, do any of you remember the "Hadacol Boogie" ? And do you know what Hadacol was?

I don't know the tune, but...

...In the late '40s, Hadacol was a potent alcohol elixir that sponsored Hank Williams' radio show. Its commercials jingled: "What put the pep into Grandma."

From a Google search.

WOW, This is too cool. My wife, Cathy, is "FROM HERE", as the southern folks say. She said she knew of Jimmy for many years, and her dad has some old recordings of him. Maybe I can get my Father-in-Law to find these cuts. I would Love to hear them, as I love listining to ALL kinds of music. On Saturday nights, (Sunday morning) when I am driving home from a gig, I listen to LPB, (Louisiana Public Broadcasting) and they have a show called "BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE", and it has some OLD Black recordings of years gone past. I want to thank you "OLD" guys for the "History Class". I love learning about such things as this thread.
God Bless..and Happy thanksgiving.

Jimmy Tarlton plays some blues on this recording: "Steel Guitar Classics" (Old-Timey LP 113, ca.1973). It may have been re-released on CD. --Joel
