Dear List:

As far as I know, no one has mentioned the best place of all for a collection 
-- The Traditional Jazz Educators Network, headed by Dave Robinson. Dave 
writes a bimonthly column for The Mississippi Rag about TJEN's efforts to 
educate young people about traditional jazz and ragtime by using TJEN's 
lending library of recordings and printed materials. I've sent some of my 
collection to Dave and plan to send far more to him once I get my collection 
sorted better. (I have a lot of LPs that have been replaced with CDs.) He 
takes LPs, cassettes, CDs, videos, books, sheet music--anything at all that 
will spread the word about the music. The problem with donating to the 
Smithsonian or Tulane or any other library is that often the collection 
doesn't get catalogued due to staff or budget shortages, and the collections 
never see the light of day. (I know of a wonderful film library that 
mouldered in a University library basement.) Please check the TJEN web site 
at http://prjc.org/tjen/resources.htm (Resources for Teaching Traditional 
Jazz) or contact Dave Robinson at jazzteachr@sysnet.net. (TJEN is also listed 
on the RAG's  web site at www.mississippirag.com. Click on "Links," then 
click on "Music Education"). If you donate your collection to TJEN, you will 
do a great service to traditional jazz by helping kids (and teachers) learn 
about this wonderful music. At the very least, please read about this 
terrific educational effort. I think it's well worth supporting -- you can be 
sure that your collection will be both appreciated and used.

And my apologies if this posting appears twice. I'm entering it only once, 
but for some reason, it prints twice when it's posted!
