He was a displaced Tennessean just like I was.
Still the only blues mandolinist I have ever heard of.
You might want to check out Rich Delgrosso's book Mandolin Blues. Rich is a great player himself, and talks about a number of historical figures (including Yank) in the book.

Since photos are the thing in this thread, here's Rich. His amulet was a gift from Howard Armstrong.
