It's Bash a Gay Person for Jesus Day. Are You Proud?
Here's something coolish. UCLA, Indiana University, Johns Hopkins University and Duke have gotten together to form the Sheet Music Consortium which describes itself as "a group of libraries working toward the goal of building an open collection of digitized sheet music using the Open Archives Initiative:Protocol for Metadata Harvesting." Whatever.
You can do a simple keyword search, or browse the collections using dropdown menus to choose criteria. Each entry contains the title of the music, the composer and lyricist, the publisher, date of publication, and the collection in which it is found. There's a "more info" link that gives you an expanded entry and provides subject terms. If you create an account, you can add a notation of your own and save the entry to your "virtual collection." You'll find even more great stuff by clicking on the link to "Sheet Music on the Web."
Good to see Elodie Lauten back. Her computer has been on the fritz for a few weeks which, I'll admit, is not always a bad thing.
Anybody interested in being a guest blogger for a week sometime this summer? Basically means you get up and find something (or make something up) to post in this space and I sleep in. Send me a note if you're interested.
Update: Terrific interview by Drew McManus with Frank J. Oteri in The Partial Observer.
