Recordings-Old 78s

Compilations of Old 78s

Early recordings by folk, hillbilly, and ethnic musicians, emphasizing the pre-WW II era and the Great Lakes Region. I plan to publish these playlists, enhanced with biographical research, on DrDosido's blog. A highlighted ID# links to a browsing page. Liner notes are in PDF files.
