"there's a whole world of music that you don't hear anymore,
and it's on 78 RPM records."
As things stand now, the 57-year-old Portland, Oregon, native has uploaded 3,739 MP3s, with plenty more in the pipeline.

Heather, thank you for the tip!
Great music although I will not know all of them.
International artists and music which spilled over to Germany are well known. Tommy Dorsey, Bill Haley, Louis Proima ...
There is quite a lot for Jazz lovers.
Some titles showed Error 404. :(
Great work! :applaud:

It was published in Wired online, then someone posted it to Slashdot geek website - so thousands of bored geeks are probably going to see and pounding the guy's webserver right now -
best to check back next week maybe ..

Awesome, thanks!
That site's going to crash & burn with traffic soon...hopefully he'll bother to keep things up as bandwidth increases.
