Here are transfers of my three Zez Confrey acoustic Brunswick 78s, all recorded in about 1921, and all (of course) featuring original novelty ragtime compositions.

Adam,

Wonderful transfers. I very much enjoyed them. Shane great clip! Thank you both.

Yay! How great! Just like some piano rolls, cut by Scott Joplin on his own works, I guess! But times have changed! Maybe we'll develop some new recording method that is a bit louder than these current 78 rpm records!
