You Tell Her – I Stutter, The Georgians (1923).
The Georgians were a subset of the Paul Specht Orchestra. Specht had a gig at the Hotel Alamac in New York City in 1920. The orchestra played music for dancing in the ballroom and afterwards a smaller version of the group that went by the name of the Georgians played in the cocktail lounge.

Saturday Matinee – Igorrr, The Wise Guyz, Firebird Trio & Billy Strings
“It feels satisfying that, after all those years on the internet, I still can be wtfed.” -YouTube comment
I don’t know what to make of that, so you’re on your own. Igorrr (aka Gautier Serre) claims to have synesthesia and perceives music as colors.
Like Ukrainian rockabilly? The Wise Guyz do a damn fine job.
Too hot to handle and too cold to hold, Australia’s Firebird Trio takes the heart of rock and roll and nails it to your forehead.
“Looks 14, sings like a 40 year old and jams like he’s been playing for a hundred years.” -YouTube comment.
William Apostol, aka Billy Strings, was exposed to bluegrass at a young age, and it shows. I’ve got turmoil and tinfoil on my mind these days, too.
Have a great weekend, folks, and we’ll figure it all out tomorrow.
