    Listening to classic pop

    This weekend in the NYT there was an article about the Library of Santa Barbara, which has made available to the public for free over 6000 cylinder recordings form the 1900's to 1920's, before records became the music recording medium of choice.

    I thought this was very interesting, the chance to listen to popular music of a century ago, in its original acoustic recordings.

    For anyone interested, the link:

    Very cool. I listen to it just as soon as I get the chance.

    (UC Santa Booboo is a very cool school. Altho I didn't go there, my brother, sister and best friend all did )

      Isn't "classic pop" an oxymoron?

        Not in the sense that this was popular music a century ago, hence "classic".

              That should be very cool. Electrical recordings started in 1925, I have some Blues from 1926 and 1927.

              Pop. Popular. As in is/was popular. Dr Dre will be Pop.
