In Their Words: "'Fast Fuse Blues' imagines Jimmie's [Rodgers] last visit to Coney Island — one of his favorite places to visit in New York. Jimmie was a frequent visitor, and there are several photographs taken of Jimmie enjoying the beach and boardwalk with his producer Ralph Peer and their families, as well as unknown female admirers. Jimmie visited Coney Island shortly before he died in May, 1933." — Paul Burch
