Twenty-five thousand songs recorded onto 78RPM discs in the early 20th century have been released online, for free.

They are the first batch of an estimate 400,000-piece virtual record collection to be made available by the Internet Archive, from gospel by the Tuskegee Institute Sings, to opera recorded in Italy, to novelty tunes by Spike Jones, to hot — though obscure — jazz.

I went in and took a look and found a few choice cuts of classic bluegrass that I know and love.

That's interesting. He would also use the phrase "is the tits". It's a small world after all.
