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.

Saturday Matinee – Charlie the Cow & Myles the Deer, Ruth Brown, Little Feat & Alabama Shakes
Don’t ask, just watch.
Ruth Brown kicks it with Rainin’ Teardrops on Show Time at The Apollo (1955).
Little Feat (featuring Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris & Jessie Winchester) doing their 1973 swamp rock classic Dixie Chicken.
[Fun fact: Bassman Roy Estrada, one of the founders of the group, was also a founding member of Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, later played with Captain Beefheart. He’s not performing anymore, won’t be eligible for parole until 2033 because this.]
Nice groove to wrap it up. Alabama Shakes on SNL in 2015.
Have a great weekend, folks, watch out for the black masks, and we’ll be back here tomorrow for some reason.

Saturday Matinee – The Funk Brothers, Procul Harum & Robin Trower
The Funk Brothers were/are a rotating group of session musicians who performed on many Motown classics, including The Contours‘ 1962 hit “Do You Love Me.” This 2002 line up backed Bootsy.
I always liked that song even though nobody knows exactly what Procul Harum was singing about in 1967.
Robin Trower continued his career after leaving Procul Harum, had a nice solo run, and is still performing at 75. Jimmy Dewar‘s vocals always fit.
Have a great weekend, folks, don’t burn down or loot anything, turn in those who do, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow for something or other.
