May as well finish up with a running motif.

This will be the last daily post, I'm afraid. Nowhere left to go from here except, perhaps, the 1890s, and finding recordings from the 1900s was hard enough without looking for even older stuff.

I'll tell you what, though. Send me surviving recordings from between 1890 and 1899 that don't break the one-per-artist rule. If I can get all ten, I'll put together a short ten-part series featuring these recordings in the near future.

Until then, I hope you've enjoyed our journey through music and history, and I hope it's inspired you to look back at the songs of previous generations with an open mind. Tallyho.
