Want to hear what a rational, thinking, clear headed, articulate President sounds like? Imagine this man at the helm

Roosevelt's speech - "The right of the people to rule"
"Social and industrial injustice"

That site is amazing. These people are taking old recordings(music, etc) and digitizing them. This website should satiate the armchair musicologists for DAYS. Old classical, jazz, folk music, on and on. Goes way back to the early 1900's(some possibly to the 1890's).

1. AND, they're in mp3 and .wav format, so we Mac people can hear them!

This is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for posting the link.

3. This is an awesome site....

I'm bookmarking it for future reference, thanks!

I was browsing through some of the titles and I gotta say some of those minstrel recording titles are just blatantly racist
