For several years now, one of my favorite sites on the web as been Internet Archive.  I can spend hours just searching all the different things the site has to offer…and it offers tons. 

From the website:

The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format. Founded in 1996 and located in San Francisco, the Archive has been receiving data donations from Alexa Internet and others. In late 1999, the organization started to grow to include more well-rounded collections. Now the Internet Archive includes texts, audio, moving images, and software as well as archived web pages in our collections, and is working to provide specialized services relating to training, education, or adaptive reading or information access needs of blind or other persons with disabilities.

Here are a couple examples of the music found on Internet Archives page on GI Jive and Mail call.  These are in MP3 format and can be downloaded for future listening enjoyment.
