AFS card gives the date as 10/26, but Lomax announces 10/23
it also gives West Liberty as the site of the session, which is close but not totally accurate: Mullins was recorded on Lacy Creek, which at the time was part of Floress, Ky., several miles southwest of W.L. Lomax also notes that Jeems is playing a fretless banjo.
