I'll bet you didn't know that I'm a comedian with organ and chimes. A lot of people don't know that. I didn't, even.
Anyhow, this is "Lee's 78s, Part 3," and it appears that 21 people have already downloaded the zip file, in spite of the fact I haven't linked to it! Which is totally cool, but of course I'm wondering how people knew it was there. Hmm.
Anyway, lot of great stuff, from way-early dance band music (Kerry Mills ((sic)) Barn Dance, Rainbow) to ragtime banjo ("Black Face" Eddie Ross) to the 1920s piano duo Victor Arden and Phil Ohman. And we've got The Original Dixieland Jass Band on Columbia with two sides long rumored to have been cut prior to the group's Victor label hits--not true, it seems. These sides were cut in May, not January, 1917. So discovered the great discographer Brian Rust, and I'd provide a link if I had one handy.
(James Reese) Europe's Society Orch.'s The Castles in Europe is better known as The Castle House Rag, and this is my newest rip of this magnificent 1914 side. Dig the Bo-Diddley beat at the end.
All ripped, edited, EQ'd, and sent into cyberspace by yours truly. Click here to reach zip file:

Those of you who have previously (and mysteriously) downloaded the file, I guess you didn't need the link! Enjoy....

Hi Lee,
Lovin' them Lee's Seventy Eights
complete with organ and chimes !
Byron
The organ and chimes really make the difference, don't they? :-)
Lee
Not having been one who was prescient enough to know the file was there w/out being told, I am saving it now, thank you!
Hey Lee
Can you tell me who wrote this piece of music? It goes "dun-dun-DUN-dun-da BOOM!" Can you transcribe it for ukulele and marimba? I would like you to do it with your non-primary hand. Would that be a problem?
Can you travel? Do you have a mop and bucket? Do you have someone who can look after the cats while you're out of town working? I can pay $15/day and provide a tallish (36"+) shipping barrel for your sleeping quarters.
Would you please talk to my mother-in-law about her habit of lumping together whole ethnicities of people and passing judgment on them? Would you go to my traffic hearing for me, and pay the fine?

Thanks for the great sounds, Lee. I was hoping you'd delete that rude post.
Madblonde,
Don't worry--I feel left out of the loop, too! This could all be some sort of time-continuum glitch, you know.
I think I spelled that right....
Steven,
Yeah, I wasn't in the mood for it. Not only was it rude, it took up a lot of space!
I wouldn't trust those links, either--who knows where they go?
The way those Prince's Orchestra pieces sound it's tough to believe they are 100 years old, and acoustic recordings to boot. I had the Castle House Rag recording on a comp from the early 1960's It was called, The Roots of Jazz. Your file sounded better than the one they had. Don K.
Don,
Thanks! We owe it all to digital remastering, of course, and the bloggers who get hooked on it.
