by Jerry McCain   Excello Records Sample (i.e. deejay) original, 45-2127   Pressed (and probably recorded in Nashville, Tennessee) - released in 1957   December 13 2018: I could not find another ORIGINAL of this anywhere on ebay - either in current or expired listings.   I knew Jerry fairly well as he spent much of his life in Gadsden, Alabama where I used to drive from Birmingham to see him do shows. There's a really decent entry about him on Wikipedia.
The City of Gadsden honored McCain by including his own day at their annual Riverfest Event; a four-day music event. The addition of The Jerry McCain Broad Street Blues Bash rounded out the entertainment and allowed many local citizens to experience McCain. A commemorative CD, featuring some of McCain's music, was compiled for sale at the 1997 Riverfest Event. In 1996, McCain was selected by the Etowah Youth Orchestras as the most well-known musician from Gadsden. The EYO commissioned the composer Julius Williams to write a work for solo harmonica and orchestra, to be performed by McCain and the Etowah Youth Symphony Orchestra, as a part of the City of Gadsden's Sesquicentennial Celebration. "Concerto for Blues Harmonica and Orchestra" was premiered in November 1996, on the EYO's Fall Formal Concert at Wallace Hall, on the campus of Gadsden State Community College. McCain performed the solo harmonica part with the EYSO, under the direction of Michael R. Gagliardo. The "Concerto" was subsequently performed in Alice Tully Hall, at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City in June 1997, with McCain, the EYSO, and Julius Williams conducting.
I apologize but due to recent machinations by ebay (they frequently like to "fix" things that ain't "broken"), the links shown above may not take you to the specific subject areas shown but will, rather, take you to my entire store where you will now have to do your own searches for those very specific locations and subjects :-{   Record graded by actually listening to both sides with a good mono record player. Using Spin Connection's grading policy for 45 rpm records, it would rate, aurally, E (Near mint) on The Jig's Up and E- (Excellent) on the Groom without a bride. By sight, the Jig's Up rates fine & glossy; Groom Without a Bride shows 2 VERY small, very minor rubs. Jig's Up label is bright & fine; Groom Without a Bride label shows some very minor soiling at bottom area of label. No pencil or ink markings. What appear to be TINY WHITE SPOTS on the vinyl are actually tiny specks of dust on my scanner. Please note: the sleeve is neither original nor contemporaneous with the record. I have been grading records and selling records successfully by mail since 1962   _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ (the fine print ... [sigh] ... but please read :-)
