Comment:

Some extra tunes I had left over from my prior two mixes for the 1899-1923 period. In this closer for the series of as Retro as you can get songs, Billy Murray dominates, singing in five out of twenty five songs. The yearly average of all the songs is 1912.7, the median is 1911.5, and the length of the mix is 69m13s. Again, many thanks to grimriper2u@yahoo.com and breda4@hotmail.com for filtering many of the songs to make them more presentable.

Where did you get that new music centre? I can't keep up with technological advances. Meet Me In St.Louis, Louis, love that song.

I must commend you on this amazing series Joe. You accepted the challenge and you rose to it, and more... Cheers for the downloads, none of these tracks would've find a home on my Hard Discs otherwise.
And isn't that one of those new retro look i-pods?

After listening to fats waller's "by the light of the silvery moon", I dug up and found this version which is incredible! I will now download the rest of the mixes you made - thanks this looks very good!

I finally got the chance to listen to these fantastic songs. I absolutely love it. I have an old Victrola and it almost makes me want to clean it up.
