Music Banter - View Single Post - The Alan Lomax collection to be put up for streaming

I just read an article on the New York Times website saying that by the end of the month Association for Cultural Equity will have the entire audio library of the Alan Lomax collection(17000 tracks\5000 hours of audio) up for streaming. For those of you who don't know who Lomax was, he essentially collected and cataloged as much of 20th century of folk music as he could find. Lomax would record anyone he could find playing roots music wherever he could find it. I'm really looking forward to being able to look through it and thought some of you may be interested as well.
