The Sod Busters. Utica, NY, circa late 1920s-early '30s. (Collection of Shlomo Pestcoe)

Here we have an old-time country string band from Upstate New York. Apparently they performed on WIBX, a Utica radio station which debuted in 1925. The lineup is Sam Sterling (guitar, possibly a Gibson L-1 [c.1918-1925] or an L-3 [1918-27]-- in either case, this is a rare one since it has a "snakehead" peghead!), Sefras (?) Smith (fiddle), Zeke Taylor (harmonicas) and Cy Perkins (banjo). Not to be confused with the Hoosier Sod Busters, headliners on Chicago's WLS Barn Dance in the late 1930s.
