While my banjo gently fiddles

"The Banjo Lesson" by Henry Ossawa Tanner

An odd-one-out post. This is a compilation of public domain old-time American songs, gathered from archive.org. Yeah, of course, you can download these songs from there as well, but one by one. Basically I'm just offering a bundle, a sample.
The songs are by various string bands, banjo- and fiddle-players, singers, etc... a mixed bunch. But all great, all, old, all amazing. I really love this kind of music. And all things like pre-war blues had (and have) a great influence on my own creations.
