Historical Note:
"Will Dockery was a good man by southern-white standards. He was known to pay a fair wage -- about 50 cents a day -- and had no need to cheat or mistreat his workers. That's what brought Bill Patton and his large family there in 1897. Bill Patton had an incorrigible, guitar-playing son named Charley, who soon fell in with the wrong crowd -- with folks like the Chatmon family and Henry Sloan. Others joined them over the decades: Willie Brown, Tommy Johnson, Jake Martin, Jack Hicks, Dick Bankston, Mott Willis, Cap Holmes, Fiddlin' Joe Martin, Jimmy Holloway, and later, Pops Staples, Howlin' Wolf, and Son House."
