The Library of Congress' Memory Collection

In surfing around trying to find info on mp3 blogging, I found The Library of Congress' American Memory collection. This is quite extraordinary stuff, and will undoubtedly take me a long time to go through and check out. Here's one song from their Voices from The Dust Bowl Collection: Nolan Duncan singing "She'll be Coming Round the Mountain." Lovely stuff, even if I'm the only person who actually likes all this old music :). There's also this version of (the Jimmy Rodger's song?) "Talking Blues" (not the same as the one I'm more familiar with by Bob Marley) by Norman Nelson. Pretty interesting stuff, and not just about dust bowl ballads from the 30s. More to come on this!
