'What's the use of worrying ...': Listening to old 78s


MP3s of 78 rpm Records, an entry from June 3 at WFMU's Beware of the Blog points to Turtle's "78 RPM" Jukebox. Will be burning some to listen to early in the morning while working.

Familiars such as The last one's tune I've heard used in the Kingston Trio's [Charlie on the] MTA,
Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square station
And he changed for Jamaica Plain
When he got there, the conductor told him "one more nickel"
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
Banjos, harmonicas, Ragtime, toe tappin' great stuff.
