[Phono-L] Phonographs in New Orleans

[Raymond Wilenzick]

I believe much information on the early jazz pioneers' musical interests, as 
well as phonograph use in New Orleans during the early years of the 
twentieth century could be found in the Jazz Archives at the Howard Tilton 
Memorial Library of Tulane University in New Orleans.
As a former resident of New Orleans, I have been there on several occasions 
and it is a wonderful collection.
