Or specifically, a sampling of songs written before 1900. Mostly from the music halls, but there's an array of moods. Performer is listed as artist; composer/writer is listed under album. Year given is the original year, as far as I was able to determine--specific performances range from 1899 to very recent (which makes for a range in audio quality, too). Image, Wilton's Grand Music Hall, London; rebuilt 1878, active 1859-1888. Image (c) David Merrigan (https://www.flickr.com/photos/daveograve/6258746852/).
