Many thanks magic Albert. The first, 1922, photo does not appear in any of my OLD references and again does anybody know the source? The second 1922/1923...

Just listening my sole Arnett, a 1978 Magpie LP. This is a collection of blues accompaniments. Only ever two sides under his name. Also on the Jimmy Wades. A...
Dear Howard and Patrice, Thank you for your replies regarding the unissued Armstrong sides recorded on November 19, 1929. I've now sent the question to Jos...

Arnett Nelson was the subject of intensive research by the late Ernest Virgo, who wrote the notes to the Magpie LP. Unfortunately he developed a tendency to...
It's hard to be certain, but there is an Arnet Nelson near Mumford in Robertson County, TX in 1920 (aged 13, born to parents from Alabama), son of Adam and...
Forget my last post. I was looking for a younger man, but Howard pointed us in the right direction. Arnett was born on 8 March 1892, at Ellisville, MS,...

Many many thanks to Bob and Howard. I discover that Ellisville is only 13 miles from St Louis and a long, long way from N.O. If Arnett was resident in this...
I am pretty sure (well certain actually) that this group has discussed Underwood before in the recurring context that he is so good he must be somebody else....
I don't think we can possibly say that Lee Collins "mistook him for N.O." Collins knew him well, but he knew him as a man who had "played his very first job in...
I'm sure you must have noticed, Bob, that there are two different draft cards on file for Arnett Nelson, b. Ellisville, MS, 8 Mar 1892, both dated 29 May 1917....

Many thanks Robert. Ellisville MS and Ellisville MI are confusing for us Brits. Many thanks Howard for digging out the Collins. Not sure how much moving Arnett...
I obviously have no idea what Lord has copied from where, but at a rough count (I might have failed to note some adjacent sessions separately) Arnett appears...
