Well, Grisman and friends made for a great soundtrack for the owl movie. I turn the volume up full on the owls and adjust the volume down on the iTunes. Works great as long as I remember to turn down the volume on the YouTube before listening to anything else. Dave Hole
I love that these off-air tracks are still available in reasonable fidelity. I only know it's mid 40,s and at least touches on the war years. [EDIT There is a mention pf the death of FDR in the second part so presumably April '45.]

Tracks 1-16 on disc 1 are from the first Treasury show broadcast on April 7, 1945 (a month before Germany surrendered). Tracks 1-8 on disc 2 are from the second broadcast, April 14, 1945, just two days after FDR's death. The rest of the tracks on disc 1 are from a Treasury Star Parade show from May 1943 and disc two is filled out with another Treasury Star Parade from June 1943. The Parade shows are not strictly speaking from the same series as the Treasury Shows, but were aired to sell war bonds as well. Duke continued to do these shows Saturday afternoons until October 5, 1946, some 44 shows in all. Storyville has 25 volumes (a number have two shows) covering all these shows, but only 1-3 have been available at Bandcamp (I think this one, Vol. 1 isn't there any more). And I agree that they are remarkable, both in the audio quality and the musical quality.

Vol 1 was there for me on Friday. Just the four volumes. I was commenting before I'd heard everything and the tone of the FDR show was of course very different to what came before and after.

Interesting glitch in Bandcamp's search. Searching for "Treasury Shows" gets only Vol. 2 and Vol. 3; searching for "The Treasury Shows" gets only Vols. 1 & 4.

I was going through a general Storyville search of everything(?) they have on Bandcamp.
Intermission' is the first album ever released by Unsound, comprised of
15 commissioned tracks responding to the pandemic year through sound and
music. Meditative, often powerful, affected by periods of anxiety and
optimism, this multi-layered album is intended to be more than a
compilation.
Featuring work by artists connected to Unsound Festival over the years,
'Intermission' includes music and field recordings by some of today’s
most exciting electronic and experimental musicians, with a focus on
both well known and emerging names. . . .
I was remiss in not acquiring and listening to this MOPDtK live album before - the arrival of FLAC versions of some of their albums at Bandcamp revived my interest in Moppa Elliot's curious body of work. I think I like this live album more than their studio work.
