FINALLY! I've heard the oldest known recording by a black vocal group.

Thanks to an MP3 I found in my e-mail box tonight, I finally have heard the oldest known recording by an African-American vocal group: "Down By The Old Camp Ground" by the Dinwiddie Colored Quartet, recorded for the Victor label in 1902.

I can die happy now! :7
