Jimmie Rodgers Special

Jimmie Rodgers, born in 1897,  grew up loving trains and loving to perform. His mom died of tuberculosis when Jimmie was just a kid, leaving Jimmie to hang around the trainyards with his father who was a maintenance man.  This Saturday on Swing'n'Country we'll explore Jimmie Rodgers' life story and recording career, which spanned only a few years but had a huge influence on country music.
