Musicologist Alan Lomax Dies (NY Times)
"Alan Lomax, the celebrated musicologist who helped preserve America's and the world's heritage by making thousands of recordings of folk, blues and jazz musicians from the 1930s onward, died Friday. He was 87."
This is a great, great loss. His contribution (and his father's before him) to authentic music can't ever be overstated. His gift to humanity was profound. Don't miss the official web site.
