One hundred years ago this past Friday, a bandleader named Polk Miller put together an unusual recording session. Miller — who was white — recorded seven songs with a black vocal quartet. But the man who led these sessions was no civil rights activist.

The Daily Planet | ABC Radio National Polk Miller and the Old South Quartette, whose 100-year old recordings are the focus of Monday's Daily Planet. Although Polk was a staunch, unrepentant Confederate and a proponent of slavery, he was also extremely rare in forming a bi-racial group and their performance together is one of the most vibrant of their time.

Polk Miller (1844-October 20, 1913) was a pharmacist and musician from Richmond and Bon Air, Virginia.

Tom Freeman Hey Ruben, Annabel's asked me to chase up the name of a scandinavian blues singer she heard from you a while back, she thought it was Christina Aby Joagnson but I can't find anything by that name. Any idea?
