Mr. CompletelyI shared this privately before, but I just got the okay to share it in public. The Bluegrass Archive is online with a website and everything. This is a MASSIVE trove of legal live #bluegrass recordings from earliest days right up to now, which you can download and listen to for free. It is one of the greatest achievements of the fan-driven #music archiving community I've ever seen. I contributed a small number of filesets out of the thousands here. #music

It would be good to implement more indexing, searching and sorting for the archive.
This is the oldest recording I've seen there, and rather interesting:

@zl2tod I do hope they make the ui easier to traverse, but it's not my project, so who knows!
I don't think I've ever seen either a Monroe or Flatt & Scruggs tape from before that, though either is possible

Oh here we go: Bill Monroe at the Grand Ol' Opry in 1946
