[78-L] Tim Brooks. LOST SOUNDS

[N7MW at aol.com]

And thanks again to Ken Flaherty (polkmiller.com) for putting out his  
remarkable CD compilation of all the Polk Miller Edison cylinders and the later  
Old South Quartet QRS recordings along with all the fantastic inserts.   
Highly recommended!

This is  a good chance to remind everyone of Tim's remarkable book about 
early  black recording artists,  LOST SOUNDS,  published in a nice 640-page 
 
hardback by Illinois University Press.  Despite having collected  records 
all 
my life,  Tim's book was my first introduction to Polk  Miller and many 
others.

The basic information alone  in the  book is well worth the money,   and 
the 
book itself makes for  very entertaining reading...that's a good 
combination.
