[78-L] Follow-Up Songs

[Joe Scott]

The CD A Corn Licker Still In Georgia by the Skillet Lickers on Voyager consists entirely of a series they recorded from 1927 to 1930.
Speaking of George W. Johnson, he and his peers got to do follow-up recordings that were as close to the previous one as possible. I wonder if anyone at the time had the "alternate takes" mentality that some of us have had since, and enjoyed collecting and hearing different versions of the same tune?

"Minnie the Moocher" and "Minnie the Moocher's Wedding Day" come to mind. Oh, and Vaughn Monroe followed up "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" with "Thank You, Mr. Florist."
