Discoveries like this are fascinating to me. "With home players not available until the late 1890s, Vasnier performances would have been heard on the wax cylinders installed in coin-operated jukeboxes." Amazing this survived. Thanks, @gedge1.bsky.social, for highlighting this.

The earliest known ‘country’ recording has been found. The singer? A Black man.

A new release of an 1891 song by Louis Vasnier deepens what we know about the genre’s origins.

The only real way to make this thing work - like Twitter did in the golden days - is to post amazing things AND for Steve Martin to join. I’m going to try to post once a day.
