The Great 78 Project twitter bot is now on Mastodon!

Each hour it posts 1 newly digitized 78rpm record you can play.

Give it a shot-- it is nice to have something good happening out there in Internet-landia.

@brewsterkahle @great78 @internetarchive Oh, neat! Are the terms on which these are posted such that pre-1927 recordings can be assumed to be public domain?

I wondered if @great78 at @internetarchive had recordings that fit the odd hashtag of the day,
#songsormoviesaboutcorn
???
Sure it does! From #Rachmaninoff to #BurlIves! ( Which reminds me that #TomLehrer once wrote, "Some people don't even care if Jimmy crack corn," but I doubt that was ever released on a 78 RPM record.
