Saturday Matinee – The Dixie Hummingbirds, A1 Hundo & The Brothers Comatose
The Dixie Hummingbirds on Jubilee Showcase in 1964. James Walker on lead vocals. Formed in 1928, and with changing lineups, they have performed for over 90 years.
A1 Hundo resurrects the grooves of Booker T. & The MG’s. Hard to find anything about the band.
The Brothers Comatose did a happy doomsday song.
Gotta go, but we’ll be back tomorrow. Have a great weekend.

Meet Krystal
A 1960s Krystal fast food training film included instructions such as:
– Keep your teeth clean and white. Anybody can have a pretty smile.
– Naturally, you don’t want to get too familiar with the customers, just be really pleasant and friendly. Let your personality show through.
– The customers aren’t interested in your private jokes. That kind of horseplay just won’t go.
– Keep your fingers off the food and don’t put the butter on top of the waffle.
