More TUNES

"Rain-in-the-Face" (from the Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project at UC Santa Barbara)
        --a 1908 slap-happy popular tune that reduced one of the greatest Lakota warriors to a laughable drunk, the dominant trope
        connoting that the "rain" is actually "firewater" . . . (Both .mp3 and .wav files are available for your delight and edification; and
        unless the original cylinder was really scratched up, it's also gotta be the worst horse-hooves sound effect in history.)
