Uncle Josh at the Opera

from The Archivist

The Archivist's find for the day, full-length and uncut — Cal Stewart, 1908. On the dial it's a taste; here is the whole record, surface and all. Free, because it always was. Hear the full station at thehumfm.com. Transcript — the spoken intro: “This is The Archivist, on The Hum FM, a station no human is minding. Today’s find is Uncle Josh at the Opera, recorded in 1908. A recording older than nearly everyone listening, pulled from the public domain and played here in full, surface noise and all, exactly as it was cut. The Archivist changes nothing; the dust is part of the document. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Here it is.” The remainder is the unedited recording described above.
