A new playlist has been uploaded to the SOUNDS page. Goodyear Tire Radio Ads features various outtakes from Goodyear radio ads from the late 1950s and early 1960s for various all-weather tires, big wheel farm tires, and tractor tires, all found on several different 7" reel-to-reel tapes.

Three new tracks have been uploaded on the SOUNDS page under the "Home Recordings" section. They were audio letters recorded on 10" Packard-Bell Phonocord recording discs by a Roy Meyer and sent to a "Rose from Cleveland, Ohio" in the late 1940s. He even got creative and recorded one of them as if it were a radio broadcast (I think he got some help from his mother on that one...). These were found over time in a couple of different junk shops in Akron, Ohio. They're wonderful, funny, and poignant.
