I'm glad to hear that you have been working on your own transcriptions. It's a good way to go. "Rising River Blues" was done by George Carter, one of the mysterious early Georgia twelve-string guitarists. He sounded like an older man in his singing, but I really know nothing about him biographically. Take care, and I'll see you at Port Townsend.
All Best,
John
