FYI, I uploaded a cover for "From Slave to Abolitionist" in case you want to use it.

I'm sorry but my Jazz interest really began in the 33rpm era.s
So no 78s

If it's the sound rather than the substance, have you disc overed redhotjazz.com?

PS That's a mean guitar you're holding, like Sister Rosetta's?

Hello Romis78:
Do you sing Sacred Harp music? I have just started reading The Sacred Harp: A Tradition and Its Music.

Just curious--is your interest in music books more from a historian's perspective or from a musician's interest?
