The Instrumental Aires at the Sapphire Room, Hotel Floridan, Tampa, Florida

The Instrumental Aires at the Sapphire Room, Hotel Floridan, Tampa, Florida
"The Instrumental Aires, featured at the Sapphire Room, Hotel Floridan, Tampa, Florida."

A real photo postcard showing the three suave fellows who performed as the Instrumental Aires at the Hotel Floridan (now the Floridan Palace Hotel). An ad from 1955 identified the musicians as "Bill Horn, direct from 2 years in Las Vegas, Bill Byers, Tampa's favorite vocalist, [and] Rickey Powell, wizard of the strings" (I'm not sure who's who in the photo, however).

Smiley Derleth has particularly liked this photo
