I've put up two different versions of his once-famous "Viking Song"--one by a 1926 glee club in what was essentially a live recording. <br /><br />English composer, mixed-race. Had to deal with a lot of racism. Talented guy--due for rediscovery, I think.<br /><br />Lee Hartsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378950382643333359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-60677163132717787572020-11-30T18:19:19.693-05:002020-11-30T18:19:19.693-05:00This is great.

It instantly transports me to a 1920s village museum near here (which is only open in December, but which sadly won't be open this season due to covid - good thing I have all these 78s to listen to.)Geordiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08888731047714302447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-21576913696391345872020-11-30T13:35:11.907-05:002020-11-30T13:35:11.907-05:00Yeah, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was a different fell...Yeah, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was a different fellow than Samuel Taylor Coleridge.Busterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918896767504950096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-84614098726960471282020-11-30T13:22:24.418-05:002020-11-30T13:22:24.418-05:00Buster-I saw that Samuel Coleridge Taylor credit a...Buster-I saw that Samuel Coleridge Taylor credit and flip flopped it in my head and started wondering why I didn't know he wrote Christmas music. I think I finally figured out it was someone different, but it took a bit.<br /><br />David-I've learned that the search function at The Internet Archive isn't as good as Google. Some things are fully indexed, but often not the names of the acts. Benny Goodman will not return anything entered as Benny Goodman And His Orchestra. It's kind of a pain, but it leaves a lot of room for obsessive keyword testing. :) And certainly not all of the Christmas music is tagged as such. The similar-to suggestions at the bottom of their pages can yield some interesting results sometime, too.Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589056878160272070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-982841464186636792020-11-30T13:12:43.579-05:002020-11-30T13:12:43.579-05:00You sure you weren't a deep sea diver in your ...You sure you weren't a deep sea diver in your early life? I'm a chronic bottom feeder at the Internet archive and all of this music escaped me. Maybe I need new scuba gear. Better yet, I'll let you go pearl fishing for me. Great job. I just hope thousands discover the work you've been doing on their behalf. Keep discovering, uncovering and, above all, recovering vintage music.David Federmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436365678466879799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-40751970058418525912020-11-30T12:48:05.449-05:002020-11-30T12:48:05.449-05:00Have you tried the de-crackle feature of Click Rep...Have you tried the de-crackle feature of Click Repair?

I need to look into some new software to address the crackle that's frequently left on these older 78s when I do my cleaning. It seem to be confined to a pretty narrow frequency band, so I have to assume there's a good way to tame it, but it falls outside my usual process. Something for next year. :)Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589056878160272070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-64388497943480529892020-11-30T12:08:09.535-05:002020-11-30T12:08:09.535-05:00This is a great collection - I am particularly int...This is a great collection - I am particularly interested in the Percy Pitt record, which I've not seen before!Busterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918896767504950096noreply@blogger.com
