356
October 22, 2009
One of the things I love about The Daily Frail is using archive.org to host the audio files. I love the Internet Archive. From the wonderful old recordings to the cheesy movies I love so much, the Archive is a big wonderful library full of amazing things.
Back in July I got this note and it just confirmed everything I thought about the Archive:
I must say, you are getting a bit of a following with us folks working here at the Internet Archive, downtown San Francisco. I’m the second banjo player in the group and it looks like our IT guy is even about to convert. What a trip! I spend part of my day watching/listening to your videos while I’m working and then go home feeling inspired to practice.
Last night I was going through some old links and would up doing a search for my files on the archive. I was kind of shocked to see that just a search for creator:”Patrick Costello” returned 356 files.

Oh wait . . . after posting this morning’s Daily Frail the count is up to 357.
This isn’t everything Dear old Dad and I have uploaded to the Archive. We have a lot of other workshops and text files there for folks to find – and I also have a DVD full of workshops from the late ’90’s that Kelly found for me. Hopefully projects like the Pat & Patrick Wiki will be able to catalog it all, but right now it is kind of fun knowing that there is material out there waiting for somebody to find by accident.
