Description
Record from original owner, properly stored. He labelled the album for cataloging purposes. Please see photos. Side 1: "How Many Bisquits Can You Eat" Side 2: "Cindy (Chisolm)" PLEASE NOTE: Founded in Ashland City, Tennessee, USA, the Pickard Family Band became a very popular act..Obed "Dad" Pickard and his wife, Leila, had five children. Playing harmonica, Jew’s harp and singing, Pickard formed the family band in the mid-20s. The band’s repertoire was centered on bluegrass music and very soon they linked up with George D. Hay of Nashville, Tennessee, for the National Barn Dance. This show evolved into the Grand Ole Opry although Obed Pickard was the only family member to appear at the show. The band toured extensively through the later part of the decade. Moving beyond the expected areas for their kind of music, they appeared in northern cities, including Chicago.
Apart from touring, radio and records, the Pickard Family also appeared in some Western films, including Rawhide Rangers (1941) and the short, Spade Cooley And His Orchestra (1949). The Pickards retained their popularity through numerous changes in public taste and in the 50s had their own television show.
