Is this guy considered an old-time musician? Badagnani 10:27, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Two pages/Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers

Should there really be two pages, this one and Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers?

I made a suggest at the talk page of Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers. The yodeling cowboy (talk) 09:50, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

this has been taken care of since Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers redirects to this page.Tomandzeke (talk) 03:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Opinion not fact

No string band in early country music equalled the Ramblers' controlled, clean, well-patterned sound."[1] Just because somebody said it in a book doesn't make it true. This article tries to establish this as a fact by citing someones opinion. Arguably Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers might rival this group.Tomandzeke (talk) 03:47, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

old time or old timey

This article uses the term old timey while Wikipedia redirects old timey music to old time music. A consensus is needed Wikipedia on whether old timey or old time should be used. Tomandzeke (talk) 03:47, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

cover artist?

I question the statement "Poole was essentially a cover artist, who composed few, if any, of his recordings." A look at the BMI Repertoire Search shows Poole wrote or co-wrote most of the recordings listed on this page. I realize that the author of record is not necessarily the actual author. But I feel either cite the statement or remove it as it may not be correct. 71.172.62.106 (talk) 04:23, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
