Re: Jazz collection for NYC repository



The donor is considering giving the LPs to USM's Music
Department. I don't know if the donor has a preference. I'm very
busy but fine. I just put in a session proposal for SAA and I'm
working on one for MLA. Our building plans are in final stages. I
have a zillion things to do, but who doesn't.
