Do you like music? How about music that was played long, long ago? Like before 1910? The stuff we don’t have recordings of? The stuff people sang around the campfire, or maybe in the Old Penitentiary? Gary Eller has been working on collecting as many songs as he can from this era, and now has his own Song of the Month web page where you can download and listen to one vocal song and one instrumental song. I help Gary do a lot of research here at the Idaho State Historical Society. I’m very impressed with his devotion to research, his thoroughness, and attention to detail!

 For example, he loves bibliographies as much as I do - check out this annotated list!
