Ben Harney
Benjamin Robertson "Ben" Harney (March 6, 1872 – March 2, 1938) was an American songwriter, entertainer, and pioneer of ragtime music. His 1896 composition "You've Been a Good Old Wagon but You Done Broke Down" is the second ragtime composition to be published and the first ragtime hit to reach the mainstream. The first Ragtime composition published was La Pas Ma La written by Ernest Hogan in 1895. During the early years of Harney's career, he falsely promoted himself as being the inventor of ragtime and never acknowledged the genre's black origin. Many contemporary musicians criticized him for it.Kleber, John E., editor. ''The Encyclopedia of Louisville''. University Press of Kentucky, 2001. p.369. "His 'You've Been A Good Old Wagon, but You've Done Broke Down' (1895, Greenup Music Co., Louisville) was the first composed ragtime song.Web link Although ragtime is now probably more associated with Scott Joplin, in 1924 ''The New York Times'' wrote that Ben Harney "Probably did mo ...

Richard "Hacksaw" Harney
Richard "Hacksaw" Harney (July 16, 1902 – December 25, 1973) was an American Delta blues guitarist and pianist. He first entered a recording studio with his brother Maylon in 1928, to wax guitar work backing for separate tracks by Pearl Dickson and Walter Rhodes. However, Harney recorded rarely, until his belated solo album, ''Sweet Man'' (1972). According to Robert Palmer, Harney was "... an exceptional technician whose busy, dense finger-picking style was far removed from the more heavily rhythmic playing of the Patton-House school and who was regarded by many musicians as the best guitarist in the Delta." The loss of his murdered brother, a speech impediment and naturally shy disposition, were all factors in preventing Harney from achieving fame. He spent most of his working lifetime as an itinerant piano tuner and repairer. Life and career Harney was born in Money, Mississippi, United States.It is the same location where Emmett Till was lynched, at the age of 14, in Aug ...
