Sound immersions from decades passed

Good drugs baw?

Elderly People Throughout The US (1929)

Amazing footage from early sound newsreels

An 84 year old tells how he enlisted to fight "the War of the Rebellion" in 1861

A man born in 1826 says he's a Republican, but before that he always voted Whig!!!

A 94 year old lady says "For a North Georgia cracker of my size and age I've done pretty well in my education".
She also tells of seeing the Indians being moved from Georgia to the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) when she was around three.

Get you a bottle of bourbon, a pack of smokes, and watch Mad Men.

(cool idea for a thread btw)

Look up the channel “guy jones” on Youtube.

You need a job.

Also the answer is NO. Recording was difficult at that time. No one is going to waste money on recording background noise.

Check out Deadball Era baseball footage, or listen to the audio recordings of Lawrence Ritter's "The Glory of Their Times". You'll hear interviews with baseball players who played at the turn of the century, along with their stories of legends of yesteryear, including Hall of Famer "Wahoo" Sam Crawford who patrolled the Detroit Tigers outfield with Ty Cobb.

You can go on-line and find mp3 recordings of old radio programs dating back to days before television.

There is one recording from a radio station broadcasting in 1939. If I remember correctly, it's 24 hours long -- one whole broadcast day back in 1939 of this radio station.

The first show is the Arthur Godfrey show.

You might still be able to find it. I can't think of anything else that might be "sound immersion", other than old time radio shows.
