Boudini Bros: Irish Jigs

An interesting set of jigs on accordions for this track. According to the Smithsonian's collection, Phil and Dan Boudini (original names: Filippo and Domenico D'Agostino) were a vaudeville act during the early 20th century. Phil was born in Ireland and Dan in Italy. Phil left in 1917 and Dan's wife, Adele Bernard, joined the group - so this recording may feature Adele. This was recorded in 1919 and released on the Emerson label (1027). More info: sova.si.edu/record/NMAH.AC.1426
