[Dixielandjazz] Electric recording history

[Fr M J (Mike) Logsdon]

Actually, there's PLENTY out there on wire recording.  Just do a Google.

There used to be a website dedicated to defunct recording techniques (with a
much more glamorous title than "defunct", which I can't remember).
Hopefully, it's still around.

Bow to the Google shrine, and you shall not be displeased,
