		Although it is true that Jimmie Rodgers was born in the deep-country village of Pine Springs, Mississippi, in 1897, and after his mother died spent the better part of several years living there with his spinster aunt Dora, he claimed Meridian as his hometown.
		When Rodgers went back out to Pine Springs, other kids sometimes felt that he was "stuck-up" because, as the child of one of his schoolmates told me at the Shurleys' party, Rodgers didn't like to play baseball and wore shoes in warm weather while everybody else went barefoot.
		As the title of one of his great songs suggests, he was a cheerful sort, happy to bend an elbow in the company of all sorts of rounders and roustabouts with "rough and rowdy ways." This sort of frowsy living began early in his life, well before Rodgers became a railroad man himself.
