I have lots of old Delta blues from the 20s and 30s... some early big band stuff... lots of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and while not "authentic" (most are from the mid 40s,and they would not have been available on wax) I have a lot of American old-time radio stuff... early Abbott and Costello, Great Gildersleeve. the Goldbergs. And lots of American war radio recordings from the old networks.

Lots of this stuff is available for little or nothing on the Net at "old time radio" sites; you can assemble a 12-hour gramaphone in just a weekend for $25 or less. It won't be 100% authentic -- most of the stuff out there is English or American -- but it helps with the immersion.

Lest I sound the purist, my boat goes into harbor with Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song cranked up so high .....
