Music from 1900s-1920s

These songs are now completely in the public domain so do what you please with them.

It’s a shame most people are unfamiliar with American Popular Music. It’s great fun. It occurred to me today that a lot of this music is in the Public Domain — I could rip mp3s from my collection and post them. So I have. All mp3s in this entry are in the Public Domain — download and share!

They certainly are very interesting and worth listening to just to see what music from the beginning of last century used to sound like. Who knows? Maybe this style of music will catch up and we’ll end up hearing it in all da cool clubs.

List of songs:

• In the Good Old Summertime, performed by John Philip Sousa’s Band (recorded 27 October 1905, which is not in the summertime)
• Grand Old Rag, performed by Billy Murray (recorded 06 February 1906)
• The Arkansas Traveler, performed by Len Spencer (recorded 01 December 1908)
• Shine on Harvest Moon, performed by Miss Walton and Mister MacDonough (recorded December 1908)
• In My Merry Oldsmobile, performed by Billy Murray (recorded 01 February 1909)
• The Yama Yama Man, performed by Ada Jones (recorded May 1909)
• I’ve Got Rings on My Fingers (Bells on my Toes), performed by Blanche Ring (recorded 24 June 1909)
• Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?, performed by Nora Bayes (recorded 07 March 1910)
• Come Josephine In My Flying Machine, performed by Ada Jones and Billy Murray with The American Quartet (recorded November 1910)
• Mister Moon Man, Turn Off the Light, performed by Jack Norworth and Nora Bayes (recorded 24 April 1911)
• Life’s a Funny Proposition After All, performed by George M. Cohan (recorded 04 May 1911)
• That Haunting Melody, performed by Al Jolson (recorded 22 December 1911)
• Carry Me Back to Old Virginny, performed by Alma Gluck (recorded 13 November 1914)
• It’s a Long Way to Tipperary, performed by John McCormack (recorded 23 November 1914)
• Smiles and Chuckles, performed by The Six Brown Brothers (recorded 09 May 1917)
• Tiger Rag, performed by The Original Dixieland Jass Band (recorded 25 March 1918)
• Over There, performed by Enrico Caruso (recorded 11 July 1918)
• After You’ve Gone, performed by Marion Harris (recorded 22 July 1918)

Anti-DRM Protest

There is a protest at the San Fran Apple Store today against DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Why are the protesting?

The iTunes policies are too restrictive. This protest is to spread awareness about these restrictions. Most people believe that once they buy music from iTunes they can use it in any way. They probably believe that they can move it to a non-Apple music player with out any problems but that is not the case. In order to do so you would have to either dump out all your iTunes content and buy CDs and then transfer them to your other devices or you’d have to go through alternate routes which are probably illegal.

Furthermore, Apple reserves the right to make the restrictions even tighter at any time in the future. BoingBoing.net posted an example of just that. They have also decreased the number of times a play list can be recorded from ten to seven. The songs that you download can only be played on five computers other wise the song will refuse to play at all.

Protect your rights. Consumers have the moolah. Research before you spend or you’ll end up supporting policies that may harm you in the future.

The demonstrations are being organized by the Free Software Foundation’s “Defective by Design” group.
