A lot of those recordings are from the 78s website. It's really so much fun to browse.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Re: 78s Collection
I have a friend who has quite a collection of Edison cylinders and several old phonographs to play them on. He's also got some blank cylinders but hasn't been able to get hold of a cylinder recorder in working condition.

Re: 78s Collection
I thought all the machines that played cylinders could record them as well - ?
Re: 78s Collection
I LOVE this song, too. It's called A-L-B-U-Q-U-E-R-Q-U-E by Johnnie Lee Wills. There are a lot of records by a Bob Wills, and in looking this song up to post here, I realized that Johnnie Lee is the younger brother of Bob. The more you know!

Re: 78s Collection
I now have the entire main directory downloaded from this 78s website!!! I'm in the process of renaming all the songs.... They're in all caps and so forth. So, I will leave you with a song I don't think I've shared yet. The catchy Too Fast Past by Merle Travis.

Re: 78s Collection
I like the lyrics to that one. 
Are you renaming them for your own use, or uploading the corrected titles?

Re: 78s Collection
I'm renaming them for my own use. It's a lot of work, but I love listening to this music! I bet most of these haven't been heard in a million years.

Sounds like a good project.
