There is a report on page B-1 of today's Times-Picayune that "Much of Tulane's Uptown campus was flooded after Hurricane Katrina, including the basement of Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, where a jazz music archive is stored." If this is true, then this collection was moved recently to the basement, and this would be a very bad situation. I hope this report is not correct. --- Parker Dinkins MasterDigital Corporation CD Mastering + Audio Restoration http://masterdigital.com
