there is a need to preserve neglected American music from the past.There is also a need to provide accurate details about

accurate information and news of recent research and publications.This site is not a free answering service for locating songs
or recordings. A Search Fee must be charged for any items
that are requested involving considerable research.General questions may be answered without a fee.
