HOUSTON SLIDE. Old-Time, Country Rag. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. Prince Albert Hunt was born Archie Albert Hunt in an area just south of Dallas, Texas. He and his group, The Texas Ramblers, recorded twice for OKeh Records, in 1928 and 1929, for a total of nine sides. Unfortunately, his promising career was cut short when he was shot to death in 1930 for stealing another man's wife.
