[78-L] Stewart Banjo & Guitar Mag Online

[maceo]

Malcolm,

At present I am unable to help with any sites, I have asked a friend who 
might have some sources. I have long
not tried to access the libraries thru normal means (visiting), was able 
to do inter-library loans on some of the US newspapers
at the National Library i.e. Baltimore Afro-American in the 1980's 
(microfiche)

If I find out anything further will pass it on, or hopefully another 
reader on the 78-l can help out?

Thanks for the link I'll check it out now, mainly interested in some 
banjo players, so might not be too much on overseas papers of local
people :-)


Best Regards,

Gary
