Teach a man to fish...

Getting back to the idea of suggestions, I suggest subscribing to certain Tubers with good taste and generosity in posting their 78 sides. I personally recommend, and subscribe to:

- prozoot (not too active lately, but quite a lot of rare electric-era stuff beautifully transferred and graphicked)
- princecastle (a new arrival with a heavy early 30s interest)
- Bigband78 (lots of nice stuff)
- MusicProf78 (great transfers)
- simat12388 (late 20s-early 30s)
- Pax41 (medley sets of 4-5 sides per vid)
- edmundusrex (European tastes and following)
- 240252 (ditto)

Read the comments for a flavor of who is into this stuff and where they're coming from. Many are the traditional effusive fans of show music. Some are very informed, probably coming from a jazz background. More often then you'd think, you turn up relatives of the musicians - there is just nowhere else their ancestors are appreciated today.

One other thing I feel strongly about. All the above Tubers transfer their music direct. These are not phonograph fans whose interest is more in the machines than the music, and only play their records thru-the-air.

There's also Aaron1912 who would get my vote for honorary FL membership. And then for European tastes there's also:

- Deutschlandsender
- HMV163
- jurek46pink (he's been feuding with 240252 for years lol)
- Leotaurus1975
- Scala78

I'm trying to obtain a copy of a Mel Torme swing song from the 1944 film "Let's Go Steady." I tried asking Sony for permission to copy the Library of Congress' master, and they said no. I don't understand why these studios just sit on their recording rights and do nothing with them. This is a great Mel Torme song, and it's never been commercially released. Does anybody have any other suggestions? The title of the song is "The Baby Boogie."

a) Mel still has some name recognition. They could use that cut on a Hollywood anthology, a '40s anthology, or whatever.

b) One-time licensing requires lawyers, who would produce more revenue from chasing piracy cases. The sad fact is that most music from the 20s to 40s era is worth more as a basis for lawsuits than as marketable product.
