foldedspace.org: Twenty mp3s of Great Songs from 1901-1920

There are some marvellous OLD recordings here: foldedspace.org: Twenty mp3s of Great Songs from 1901-1920 I was thrilled to finally hear "The Yama Yama Man", a song I remember my father singing. He was born in 1902 and "The Yama Yama Man" was recorded in 1909, so I can understand why his rendition wasn't perfect. Still, he remembered it pretty well and so do I! I'll be spending quite a bit of time at this site because they've also got recordings by Al Jolsen, Alma Gluck, John McCormack, George M. Cohan and even John Philip Sousa's band.
