Posey Rorer

Posey Rorer (September 22, 1891 – June 6, 1936) was an American old-time fiddler who was best known for being a member of the string band Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers.

[2][4] Between September 1926 and February 1928, the band was often led by Harvey during recording sessions since Charlie Poole was not present.

[6] In March 1930, he recorded with Buster Carter and Lewis McDaniel alternately calling themselves the Carolina Buddies or the Dixie Ramblers.

[7][8] Later in 1930, Rorer and Carter teamed up with Preston Young and formed a trio using the North Carolina Ramblers as a model.

[10] Although Rorer continued to make recordings with different bands, The Great Depression finally forced him to retire from music.
