First Show!

Welcome to Moth-Eaten Melodies. A few years ago I was given a few hundred 78 records and that started the ball rolling. Now I can’t pass by any old records for sale without at least looking through them to see if any treasures await. I have not come close to listening to everything I own, so in my desire to digitize my collection, I’ll be putting together podcasts of the better material I discover.

Here is the first show that I put together as I was teaching myself Audacity
