- found: Wikipedia, February 19, 2015(article on Roosevelt Graves: brother Uaroy Graves, nearly blind and played the tambourine; credited as "Blind Roosevelt Graves and Brother"; joined by pianist Cooney Vaughn, the trio recorded in 1936 as the Mississippi Jook Band; in several books, magazine articles, and album liner notes that mentioned the Graves brothers, the names "Aaron" or "Leroy" were substituted for Uaroy, on the assumption that the otherwise unknown name Uaroy must have arisen due to the poor penmanship of a recording company employee whose handwritten notes were misinterpreted, but this controversy was put to rest in 2004, when photographic copies of the Paramount files were posted to the internet, and it could clearly be seen that the person who wrote up the recording session notes had written in a careful, almost printed hand, "Uaroy Graves")
