Pokey LaFarge, Esther Rose
Born Andrew Heissler in the green pastures of Bloomington, Illinois, Heissler's adopted pseudonym, Pokey LaFarge, befits his ongoing commitment (now over a decade strong) to a bygone American way of life, as represented by ragtime jazz, country swing, barrelhouse blues, and ample amounts of hair pomade. No doubt, there are still a precious few clinging to their striped vests and herringbone tweed caps, and for them, Pokey LaFarge endures.
