YELLOWSTONE JEWELRY
78s

I got hooked on old-time music in the 70's (i.e., before internet). Learning tunes meant hanging out with other OT musicians, buying LP re-releases of old music, and/or finding 78 RPM records. I did all three.
Then I got away from OT music for a long time (kids, job, etc.). Since I came back to the music, I'm amazed at how many good sources for OT music there are on the web..... see some links below. I started to post some recordings of my 78s on the MediaFire website, but I also found that most of my 78's are already posted somewhere out there on the web. So there's not really much benefit in my posting recordings of my 78's on-line.
Well, maybe a small benefit. I record 78s from an old portable electric record player, and I don't touch up the recordings. Many of the on-line recordings of 78s have been processed and polished to take out the clicks & noise..... this process takes out the noise, but also seems to add an artificial sound to the recordings.
So here are a few un-altered recordings of 78's. I'll change the selection every so often. If you like these, please send me an e-mail and I'll feel encouraged to post new stuff.
