for your listening pleasure

The Library of Congress has created National Jukebox, a trove of historical recordings that you can listen to for free!

For example, you can hear a speech by Teddy Roosevelt...



Enjoy (& remember to thank a librarian!)

Now to figure out how to save stuff to burn CDs for the car.

That is one reason I am not against "download piracy" as much as some. I do not much give a hoot about todays teenbopper music, but I have treasured an MP3 of Joplin (Scott, not Janis) playing one of his rags, recorded by someone from a player-piano roll. Think that is otherwise available? HAH!

Wow Teddy's Accent is blowing my mind! I can't make heads or tails of it!

IIRC, sounds pretty close to FDR. And, judging by the contents, might call him FDR Prequel. Wage and price controls. Progressives...
