The National Jukebox

[pete]

Well, if we're talking about the nation I live in ....

This was mentioned in another thread by clarnibass, but I wanted to mention the website here and note the fact that it's been revamped a bit. Recordings are from 1901, at the earliest, it seems.

Oh. I just noticed this:

I has missed Clarnibass'es original post, thanks for reviving it.
And, for a joyful jump into this new week, a tasteful (?) Rudy Wiedoeft masterpiece (??), Sax-O-Phun.
