Here is another group that I found in the 78 RPM records that came with my gramophone, George Wade and His Cornhuskers.
Research shows that they were a popular Country dance band, probably the most popular in Quebec and Ontario from the mid 1920s and possibly up to and into the 1940s. They did regular radio broadcasts from the late 20s and on through the 30s. They recorded 13 known 78s for Victor in 1933.
Apart from Wade, the number of musicians in The Cornhuskers and who they were and what instruments they played was quite flexible, ranging from 4 people to 15, probably depending upon how lucrative particular gigs were, I would guess.

This is really hardcore, Country Roots music, so raw that it's still bleeding and so very, very, very far removed from New Country:
