	First recorded gospel pianist got her start in Austin
		Dranes had been living in Dallas (not Fort Worth, as has been written) in the State-Thomas neighborhood when she was discovered by a traveling Okeh talent scout in early 1926.
		Dranes became Okeh's biggest gospel star almost overnight, but she wasn't always paid in a timely manner, according to correspondence between Dranes and record execs made available in 1970 to writer Malcolm Shaw.
		Dranes was staying in Sherman, where her family (mother Cora Jones and siblings Milton, Millie, Rome and Bill) lived, when she was beckoned to record in Chicago for the last time in June 1928.

		Arizona Juanita Dranes left Texas for Chicago in June 1926 accompanied by a note that read as if it had been pinned to her sweater.
		According to the death certificate, Dranes was born April 4, 1894, to Cora Jones and a father listed as "Unknown Dranes." Bios universally have Arizona born in 1905 or 1906 and marvel that she was barely 20 when she made those groundbreaking recordings.
		Dranes' recording career was over by 1929, when the Depression dried up demand for down-home Southern gospel and she confined her playing to Church of God in Christ services.

		A descendant of Booker T. Washington on his mother's side, he attended college in Oklahoma and trained to be a teacher, but the Spirit called him and he became an evangelist and faith healer.

		In the company of Dranes and the Church of God in Christ Jubilee Singers, McGee made the first of his sanctified sermon records for Okeh in June of 1927, thus launching a recording career that would last for almost three years.

		Very cool in its own grooving way, though it doesn't have the delicate innocence of Lillie Knox's lovely version on the Got The Keys To The Kingdom: South Carolina disc (part of the Deep River of Song series on Rounder Records).
		Arizona Dranes at times reminds me of Bahamian guitar-killer Joseph Spence because sometimes she really rolls her "R"s, although she remembers the lyrics and doesn't have that seemingly emphysema-ridden lung gurgle that Spence had.

		There's a minimum of 25 selections to each release, with some totaling 27, and each set offers a sterling mix of multiple sources and elements.
		The first disc blends selections from the Chuck Wagon Gang, J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers, and Ernest V. Stoneman's Dixie Mountaineers right alongside Washington Phillips' swooning, swaying singing, Arizona Dranes' otherworldly leads, and booming testifying from the Golden Gate Quartet, Blue Chips and others.
		Those who still fail to see the link between country, blues, fl and white gospel styles are advised to closely check out the Carter Family's "River of Jordan," then revisit the Golden Gate's "Rock My Soul." The same holds true as you plow through the other discs.

	Rev. Robert Ballinger Tribute - Articles - GOSPELflava.com
		Born in Cincinnatti in 1921, Rev. Ballinger grew up in the Church of God in Christ, no doubt honing his formidable keyboard skills with the abundant musical opportunities that the denomination provided.
		The renowned COGIC musical pioneer Arizona Dranes was clearly an influential figure, with impressions of her pounding ragtime piano and vocal style clearly spilling over into some of Ballinger’s early recorded works.
		Ballinger’s style is a combination of infectious, rowdy piano and compelling tenor vocals.
