It would have been nice to actually hear Charles Asbury without somebody talking over the recording! People are going to be comparing this to Uncle Dave Macon's recording of 'Hold the Woodpile Down'. A great, and historically valuable, find.

Charles Ashbury - Roll The Woodpile Down 1894 phonograph (no voice-over!). Nice clear recording.
