My aim is to do the best versions of the most famous songs of all time. — Dr Tom
Overview
Although speakers were regarded as its "backbone", half of a traditional chautauqua was musical performance. For us to fill the e-chautauqua shoes we needed to lay down sufficient musical material to be worth a visit. radio-tom fills that role in the e-chautauqua and now has enough material to be termed an internet radio resource. For some of the songs ours is the only version readily-available.
License Usage
Although the songs were carefully researched and confirmed to be from the international public domain the arrangements and performances had to be specified as Creative Commons.
Motivations
