two things:
1. The URL is poorly typed: <https://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/96226%3E> is better
2. It is the McCabe’s Collection, not McCabes Guitar shop in Los Angleles oh! No, I am wrong there:
<http://blogs.lib.unc.edu/sfc/index.php/2015/06/25/mccabes-guitar-shop-collection-comes-to-unc/>
but McCabes is not located in Marin! I am, though.
I wish the job WAS in Marin County CA. - I’d be all over it.

> I would be curious to hear more about the collection this job recipient will be preserving. I see from the UNC website that this relates to McCabes Guitar Shop in Marin. Some stellar talents have performed there over the years. What years are covered on the tapes? I would love to be involved in this project, but the prospect of relocating to NC for a 4-month gig at less than $20/hr kinda cools my jets.. I envy the successful applicant..-Matt Sohn
