well, you find links in the most interesting places! I was reading my newsgroup alt.crafts.woodturning, when someone mentioned as an aside his son's site here where there are some old records with the likes of Big Bill Broonzy, but tending towards jazz...this had links http://www.dnai.com/~swazoo/sites.html to others, especially to

this amazing place where you will find almost anything to do with old records...tech, samples and more links, such as this one and this other one
a lot of these are to old jazz, show tunes and such, but there is a wide mix!
(he has Honking Duck as a link BTW)....there are a few dead links, as you might imagine, but....WOW!

have fun...don't get lost now....*grin*

There's so much great stuff here!
A big thank-you for pointing us at it.

Wow, BillD! Thanks! I've sent the links on to a friend of ours who is smack dab in the middle of a huge old recordings-to-CD project. I know he will find these helpful and a lot of fun.

(I sure am adding to my collection of MP3s and knowlege of what makes a good copy!...I have old records to copy soon..(though not 78s)...Honking Duck could keep me busy for weeks by itself......

Bill thanks for the links....I am as delighted as you, about one jazz one in particular, never would have found it.... however, don't point these plebians to the newsgroups - there must be some succor and reassuring respite in a world of cacaphonious catterwhaling

Sincerely THANX,

Gargoyle

Well, Bill, no doubt there is a lot of cacophonous caterwauling in newsgroups. But not much cacaphonious catterwhaling, I would guess. Except, perhaps, among devotees of shanties.

*giggle*....visions of Capt. Max Ahab leading a bunch of crazy folkies to sing that whale to the surface!...and another ship full of ANTI-whaling protesters singing protest shanties.
