The Dance They Call the 'Georgia Hunch'.
1920ref. BK0059Chicago: Williams & Piron Music Publishers 1920. First. Four pages 9 ½ x 12 ¼ inches. Illustrated cover signed "Wilson. Detached at spine with slight chipping to margins; good overall. A scarce Williams & Piron sheet music imprint for The Dance They Call the "Georgia Hunch" with words and music by Clarence Williams Louis Wade and Spencer Williams. The attractive illustrated cover signed "Wilson" shows a couple dancing beneath the title. The song was issued by Williams & Piron in Chicago in 1920 during Clarence Williams's brief publishing partnership with New Orleans violinist and bandleader Armand J. Piron. Their firm advertised itself as the "House of Jazz." The song's title refers to the Georgia Hunch an early jazz or vernacular dance documented in period performance and later dance history sources. It does not appear to have become a standardized dance craze on the level of the shimmy black bottom or Charleston but it was more than an invented title; Williams recorded The Dance They Call the Georgia Hunch in 1921 as Okeh Records 8029 and the dance appears in later jazz-dance documentation though it apparently never reached the fame of more well known dance steps of the time. OCLC locates two copies institutionally at Baylor and the British Library. . Williams & Piron Music Publishers unknown books
