We featured 'Citizen DJ', a project of the US Library Of Congress, several years ago, but since then it somewhat fell off my radar. While I was rattling around for some samples for today though, I stumbled across their public domain archives of Musical Theatre songs, which truly tickled my fancy. So today, for your sampling pleasure, we have a randomly chosen selection of audio from the public domain, recorded off what sounds like extremely scratchy 78 RPM records.

Today's challenge is to use at least one sound from the pack, plus any other samples, synths and instruments that you like, to make a track of ± 2 minutes long in two hours! Feel free to warp, crop, and mangle the samples as much as you like to your taste!
