[78-L] Jim Walsh articles

[Mike Daley]

Thanks very much for the advice. I'll try Interlibrary Loan. I'd like to
read as many of the articles as I can, but I'm specifically looking for
Walsh's article on Arthur Collins, published in the 40s - does anyone have
it? I'm hoping to start compiling a list of Collins' recordings.
