From Calhoun, Georgia came half-Cherokee Andrew and son Jim Baxter who were outstanding African-American musicians capable of playing in a variety of styles. The Georgia Yellow Hammers in August 1927, got them to help in a recording session in Charlotte. Andrew and Jim were forced to ride in a seperate car, and did do some recordings but the racist industry never credited them. It is commonly believed in many current circles that the fiddler in the Yellow Hammers's "G Rag" is indeed Andrew Baxter.
