Comment:
This mix includes songs from 1901-1922, with an average year of 1914.11 and a length of 66m37s. These two mixes were the results of reviewing 3,727 songs for which most of the sound quality was pretty bad. Of those I set aside 184 or about 5% as potential mix choices. From that I selected 25% to make these two mixes. I want to thank Grimriper2u@yahoo.com who cleaned up the sound on many of the mp3s included here (most of those songs used would probably not have made the cut without his help). Hope that many of you appreciate this little historical venture...

Astonishing again !!
My mother is older than your mother, and these even predate mine!
Scott Joplin, Caruso, Dixieland, several rags, and who knows what other treats lie within. Super work, Joe.

...and favorites on this one were "Oh By Jingo," the Scott Joplin, #21, #13, #8 and I love the way Frank C. Stanley rolls his Rs on that #2 smash from 1907. also loved hearing "The Old Grey Mare," since my mother used to sing that one to me when I was very very young. terrific set, RetroJoe.
Fantastic set.
Ah, Caruso, I am speechless.
