Topic: Snoozer Quinn--anybody heard him?

[Stuart]

Hi Tony:

Last night it crossed my mind that given the nature of the CD there might be an outside chance it would have been acquired by--or Scott Black would have donated it to--one of the NOLA libraries. This morning I did a search and:

Now all you or someone else has to do is bring a laptop with an optical drive and CD importing software to the Tulane University library and, as they say,  "Bob's Your Uncle."

Stuart, you're a genius!

Stuart, you're a genius!

Hah! Hardly! Even though I earned a PhD from a top-tier university, as a former New Jersey cab driver I have the combined instincts of a rat and a cockroach that allow me to ferret out the good stuff.

I had the great experience of living in N'Awlins between 2003-2009, and spent some happy hours looking through the collection here:

https://library.tulane.edu/locations/tusc/hogan-archive-new-orleans-music-new-orleans-jazz

Absolutely nothing was digitized at that time, they had a very basic setup for burning a CD of the Snoozer Quinn 8-song LP for me. It looks like they've put a major effort into digitizing at least some their holdings and putting them online. Mostly jazz-oriented, of course, but I found some slim files on NO blues players like Richard "Rabbit" Brown when I was there, maybe they've added more since then.

Hi Tony: It's possible you might be able to get the two tracks you want through Inter-Library Loan (ILL). Since it's not the entire CD you're after (although that would be nice) it would fall under "Fair Use." Check with the library you use. There might be a fee--but still--it might be worth it to you, depending. The library just might be able to get them as audio files from Tulane.

Thanks Stuart. Actually I'm in Australia and do not really use ILL at this time - also we do not have confirmation that Tulane actually has this, do we? (WorldCat said "1 edition in 1 library" but then "Unable to find libraries on WorldCat with this item.") ... But someone else is welcome to try!

Hi Tony: The catalog indicates they have it (along with Volume 1) in their holdings and it's available:

Yeah, being in Australia doesn't exactly make access convenient, but maybe one of our WC members who is closer can help out.

Like Lindy, I'm in the Seattle, Washington area, so NOLA ain't exactly within walking distance. But at least we know one copy of the CD appears to be available, along with where it's located, which is a start.
