Watch Gramophoned - Francis Craig & his Orchestra - Near You 1947 Brunswick 03876b video on DTube
Had a look in my shed the other day, while I was in there I came across a huge pile of gramophone 78rpm records and thought to myself 'what should I do with them?'. Then, this idea came up 'I'm going to record them all and post them up on a decentralised network, where they will be preserved forever for other generations to discover and enjoy!'.
So, here we go, this is the first in the series for you good people out there, I hope you enjoy this historical musical journey as much as I am sure I will.
Any comments or knowledge of any of the artists/songs etc. are most welcome
Thank you for your time.
