time) have a experimental sound and an evocative nature that I like.
When you have a little song from around 1860 called Fly, Little Bee that
actually sounds like a fly and/or bee while that being an unintended result,
it adds a nice touch of sonic surrealism that enhances the experience.
I felt I was on point. I mentioned these before, but I'll post the videos in case my post was overlooked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mississippi John Hurt - Nobody's Dirty Business - (Recorded in Memphis, Tennessee, February 14th, 1928.)


Cliff Edwards - Thats My Weakness Now - (Recorded on December 7th, 1928)
