Has anyone discovered a quick way to go back to the earliest tunes submitted on this site? I notice we are now on page 1 of 769 and I would love to see the tunes on page 769 and browse forward, but as I have no idea of the names of any of the tunes I cannot do a search. I suppose I am assuming that when this site began people started by submitting their favourite tunes first, and am worried I might be missing some beauties!
Thanks for your suggestion mehitabel23. I have just tried it but I'm afraid it didn't work! I checked twice that I had the correct address as you gave.
The URL for each tune has a number at the end. E.g. The Wizard's Walk is http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/885, meaning it was the 885th tune submitted on TheSession. If you substitute 1 for 885, you will get Cooley's Reel, the 1st tune ever submitted.
Et cetera...

Go with Joe's suggestion (but you'll have to trawl through > 7600 tunes, and many will be obscure or rubbish!)
Rather get Dow's list or such like and have a listen to the ones you don't know - far more efficient and enjoyable
Or get some CD's of the big names and do the same

Works for me; can you just click on the link the message? It's interesting to see these - not what you'd expect!
