[Dixielandjazz] Who to leave my recordings to?

[David Richoux]

This is certainly a topic of timely interest as OKOM collectors "age 
out."  As a radio broadcaster and record collector I would like to 
suggest donating collections to your local non-commercial jazz (or 
other music) radio station. Not all stations still have the capability 
to play phonograph records but they all can use CDs. Not all stations 
have large spaces available for tons of albums or 78 rpm records but 
some do. Not all stations currently have OKOM programming (that is 
another topic) but there is always hope for the future !

We get small jazz collections donated at KFJC several times a year, on 
average. It takes a while to go through the donations to find what we 
need to add to our library - the rest is either traded/sold at local 
record stores or at our regular record swaps. (The money raised goes 
directly into the operations budget.) (and what goes is out usually 
something like the 15th copy of a cheap re-issue of something by Al 
Hirt...)

Donations can be tax deductible if that is important to you.
