Now I believe that Charlie Poole (March 22, 1892 - May 21, 1931) wrote this song but I am not absolutely sure of that. That title is ironic as Charlie drank himself to death after learning that he won a contract in Hollywood to play backup music for a film. At least, that is the story that I've heard. What is clear is that clear that Charlie was a fast living and hard drinking fellow. Textile mill worker, semi-pro ballplayer, and hell-raiser supreme, Poole was giant of American roots music with his innovate banjo playing and for heading the North Carolina Ramblers. He is a favorite of mine.
