Hey Reef, I found a great article with Rick and Henry in it, posted elsewhere, which you might not see there so here it is:

http://tinyurl.com/Columbus-Stockade-Blues

It's "Columbus Stockade Blues," a song beloved by generations of folk
musicians, country singers and bluegrass pickers. The song is a hard luck story. There's a man behind bars, and there's
a woman he can't be with. And maybe, to top it all off, she doesn't
even want to be with him. "Go and leave me, if you wish to," he tells
her. "In your heart you love some other. Leave me, darlin', I don't
mind."
"Columbus Stockade Blues" made famous the unlikely Columbus-based duo
who first recorded it, Tom Darby and Jimmie Tarlton. Darby gave the
song its weathered, world-weary voice. Tarlton played a slide guitar
in the background, adding a sound that was certainly no stranger to
black blues music but was practically unheard of in white country
songs until then.
Tom Darby was born in Columbus in 1884. He was a farmhand and picked
up other odd jobs as he could, finger-picking music on his guitar more
or less as a hobby.
Jimmie Tarlton, a drifter and son of South Carolina sharecroppers, was
eight years Darby's junior. He'd already seen much of the country,
traveling with his guitar and buskin' music on sidewalks when he ended
up in Columbus, in 1927.

"For whatever reason, they both claimed they wrote it, and that right
there is probably what drove the wedge between them personally," said
Henry Parker, a Columbus guitarist who befriended an elderly Jimmie
Tarlton when Parker was in his 20s.
Whatever Tarlton may have insisted before he died, "my uncle wrote the
song before he ever met Jimmie Tarlton," Whitley said.
Most people agree that Darby's the more likely author.
"Well look, Tom sang the song," said Rick Edwards of the Chattahoochee
Folk Music Society. "Darby never sang lead on Tarlton's songs. Tarlton
never sang lead on Darby's. So if that holds true, it was Darby's
song."
Parker thinks they should've simply shared the credit and moved on.
"Look, you both were on it, so why not just let it be a
collaboration?" he said. "Whoever wrote it, it wouldn't have been the
song it was without Jimmie Tarlton playing slide, and I'll have to
give Mr. Tom Darby the credit too,'cause he sang very well on that
song.
"So that was a collaboration all the way around. It was two
instruments and two voices. They can't get away from that," Parker
said.
Darby and Tarlton regrouped for what's believed to be the last time in
1963, when they celebrated the opening of the band shell in Weracoba
Park.
About that time, Tarlton performed at the 1966 Newport Folk Festival, along with Judy
Collins, Phil Ochs, Chuck Berry, The Lovin' Spoonful, and a folk
singer named Pete Seeger.
Parker met the elderly Tarlton in the mid-1970s, when the former star
and his wife were living in a Phenix City housing project. Tarlton
didn't even have a guitar, so Parker gave him his.
Darby and Tarlton died eight years apart: Darby in 1971 and Tarlton in 1979. They're both buried in Riverdale Cemetery on Victory Drive.-Brad Barnes

Likewise, Reef...

I actually went by and spoke with Henry Parker a few days ago, he was doing some work on his little house near Pumpkinbottom in Phenix City, the place could be a 1920s museum, I told him he should try to get a grant from the new Mayor Lowe.

The woman in the Popeye's commercial does not sound like she is from NOLA much less Louisiana, she sounds like she is from Beverly Hills to me.
That in and of itself makes Popeye's a fraud. They just sprinkle a little Zat in they bread coating and call it Cajun.

Well Popeyes is to New Orleans as Taco Bell is to Mexican.

Now here in Columbus we had a place called Top Hat, and their fried chicken is the stuff of legend.
