Win a Cougar for you and a friend!
The Shellac Shanty
The Shanty was recently awarded
Best of Bourbon Street
for May 1998... Thanks!
Welcome to the Shellac Shanty.
You'll notice that graphics are almost non-existant here... the reason?
I wanted to make as much room as I could for the tunes in the Jukebox .
I happen to like older jazz, and I have a
pretty substantial collection of 78 rpm records,
So I decided that I would share a few with you.
Pull up a comfy chair, sip your favorite cool beverage, and enjoy
well over 90 minutes total of old jazz.
What else do I like? I like trains. I like photography. I like
crank-up phonographs. I like Nawlins.
I also write poetry, but that's another day and lifetime.
If there's any interest, and I have any disk space left over,
I'll put some up.
NEW and SPECIAL FEATURES!!
Go check out the Japanese Hawaiian Records or
Laughing and Crying Records pages!!
This is the way to the Jukebox, all files are in streaming RealAudio. Enjoy!
Hi there... I changed out a few things, as you may have guessed.
All of the tunes that were here are now on their respective pages, but fear not, thre will be more new things showing up here in the Front Stack
This is the way to the Jukebox, all files are in streaming RealAudio. Enjoy!

Also, all files there are VQF-encoded, but fret not, there's a link to a free VQF player and encoder from Yamaha.
There are TWO NEW Shanty sites going up soon, the Little Grass Shellacky Shack, dealing with strictly Hawaiian recordings on shellac, and Il Shantio Shellacio, which is geared towards classical and operatic 78s.
Great Stuff coming soon...
Here are some other interesting sites you can cehck out:
- Swazoo Koolak's Jukebox A great site with more 78 rpm music - rotates monthly.
- The Wolverine Antique Music Society site Gus Frederick's site with LOTS of info on 78 collecting.
- ShellackyToonz! Brian just put this up, plus links to a GREAT .mp3 player.
- the Cyberspace World Railroad Dan Dawdy's DEFINITIVE site on railroading.
- "Red Hot Bands, 1895 - 1929" - I just found this site... great research and a LOT of streaming audio 78s.
- "Glen's Vintage Jazz and Hot-Dance Pages" Another shellac site with excellent jazz and hot dance 78s, all in MP3 format.
- "Jim & Marianne's Jukebox" "popular" acoustical recordings (made prior to the current date minus 77 years, i.e. January 1922 as of today) and Edison Diamond Disc recordings.
- Martin's 78 Turntable
This site has RealAudio streams of hot tunes from the Jazz Age as well as (mostly harmless) fun tunes from the past. - Dismuke's Virtual Talking Machine
Another fine collection of streaming RealAudio files centered on music from 1900 to the 1930s. Rotates periodically, and the files are download-able.
