WAVE THAT FRAME. Old-Time. Lowe Stokes (1898-1983) was a north Georgia fiddler who was a member of the famous Skillet Lickers but who also fronted his own bands and made recordings in his own name. “Wave that Frame” was recorded in 1928 with a band fronted by Stokes. The melody to the song was used a year later by the Georgia Yellow Hammers for Bud Landress’s song “Rip Van Winkle Blues.”
