I made some Orchestrelle recordings just last week, in fact, at the Pease
Collection in Massachusetts.  I have enclosed one RealAudio file,
including "Taps / When Johnnie Comes Marching Home / Dixie" that came
off a roll entitled "Bugle Calls and War Songs."  Hopefully it can be
posted to the site.  I think a large area for sound file upload/download
is a great idea.
