Skies are grey, I’m looking for anything that will bring a happy glow
 Night or day, it doesn’t matter where I go anymore, I just go

 Have to quit your mess and straighten out
 You could die down here, be just another accident statistic”

 Grandpa died last week
 And now he’s buried in the rocks
 But everybody still talks about
 How badly they were shocked

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again | The Official Bob Dylan Site

40 years ago this week, "Rock Me Amadeus" by #Falco reached the top spot, replacing "These Dreams" by #Heart after one week. Can you name his only other top 40 hit in the US? Don't say "Puttin' on the Ritz", that was Taco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-H895vrIU8 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

 You can hear the school bell ring
 Gotta get up near the teacher if you can
 If you wanna learn anything

Floater (Too Much to Ask) | The Official Bob Dylan Site

There's some cool stuff in this new batch. Nothing klezmer, but a good amount of Greek/Turkish/Ottoman music mixed in with the thousands of American discs.
As someone interested in early recording industry history, I love this project. still holding out hope that they eventually release klezmer test pressings that no one has ever heard in 100 years

 Bring down my fiddle, tune up my strings
 Gonna break it wide open like the early Roman Kings

Want #accordion mystery #MusicHistory origin stories?

Watch for Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein (presented his “speech machine” in St Petersburg in 1780)

And the unfortunately multiple-spelling’ed Franz Kirsnick / Kirshnick, Kirschnick, Kirschnigk

Another German in Copenhagen, #organ builder who maybe assisted Kratzenstein, sold organs with the “western” free reeds that come down to us)
