*Even though "Rhapsody in Blue" is available on the Internet Archive, I'm led to believe (because of the song's popularity and the tightness of the Gershwin estate) that this song may not actually be in the public domain*

All of the music above was obtained from the Internet Archive (and therefore, believed by me, Adrienne, to be in the Public Domain). It's all being used on Aige Old Radio & My Aige Old Soul for entertainment (and one could say educational) purposes.
The last song you used in your AM broadcast, I feel like it was used in "The Ladykillers". The more it played the more I kept picturing that weird movie, like the song, but is kinda creepy lol.
ReplyDeleteIt is very eerie isn't it? Lol
