About Me


On this page you will find the rare old style mountain music that the Mickeybilly wrote and played with his fiddlin' friend the Sven. All recorded by chance far away from everything.
I'll tell you more later.
L. Drifter
Hello again.
This is later.
Here you find some of his songs. Not too good recordings, but digitally somehow refined from the dirty old wax rolls we found, by some relatives of the Sven - for you.
On rocky Road in Kentucky - about true love and a terrible meat loaf disaster. Recorded Live at the barn dance, featuring Lulu Belle - the Singing Hen!
There's a Horse under my Saddle & The Badger - good fiddle
The Blues refuse to stay - Roll 55B, from 1949
Loafing my Days away
Chicken Somethin' and two Roosters - song title unclear - trad fiddle
Honey Baby I just think of you
You've got the Blues alright! - Early recording October 1953
The Mickeybilly Song - Dirty brown Edison roll. 4th of January 1973
I'll be back.
L. Drifter
I'm back. I just wanna add that the Mickeybilly's nearest neighbor and best friend, the Sven, only lives two days of walking and climbing from him, if he does it fast.
L. Drifter
Just Mickeybilly and the Sven
And sometimes Lulu Belle, the hen
will sing to the words of the witty pen
We do know where, but we don't know when
Up in them Mountains close to a star
Where the Ramshackle barely stands by a car
There's the badger called Baddy and the Ford model A
The wild Mickeybilly and the Sven, they're okey
I can't find the Mickeybilly!
The Sven
Me neither.
L. Drifter
Have you seen this? Jimmie sings his song Daddy and Home.
L. Drifter
No.
The Sven
How about this one, then? Have you seen this?

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 17/05/2007
Band Website: www.mickeybilly.com
Band Members: We have no electricity up here. The Sven asked for it in 1923, so it should come any day now.
This page is composed and written by L. Drifter and somehow delivered to you by some relatives of the Sven, who seems to have a lot of power.
Influences:
He only liked the songs and singing of Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams, from what I know. He had never heard any other country music and was very surprised when I mentioned that there was a band called the Carter family and someone called Dolly Parton. I reckon this was because he never had listened to a radio, remotely as he lived up in them hills of Kentucky.

Sounds Like: Sounds like Country Music used to was!

Remote Mountain Music Originally Powered and Carried over the Decades by Thomas Alva Edisons' Great Idea - WAX!

Well now. As these old recordings, on rolls are being cleaned and made digital, they are presented here, for you all to listen to and enjoy.
More will come as work goes on.
L. Drifter

Yes. That's true.
The Sven

I know that!

Record Label: Only wax rolls - no label. Edison type.
