In May 1927 the Gennett Record Company recorded local artists at the Lowry Hotel. It was during these sessions that “Moonshiner’s Dance Part One” was recorded by Frank Cloutier and the Victoria Cafe Orchestra.  The side was included in Folkways’ “Anthology of American Folk Music” that was released in 1952.  Read much more about this amusing record Here.  Hear this strange song on YouTube.  A comment on that page says that the fact that this song was recorded there saved the building.
