I collect old music from the 30's, 40's and from as much the USA as France or Italy. There are many newsgroups devoted to this public domain music. Bandwith of dl is assumed by the ISP ....

I also collect Wurlitzer juke boxes ( pre-war till 1965 ) . A lot of info, help, discussion exist there.

Now, with the arrival of instant forums ( such as this one we are on now ) it can seem less relevant.
