And from that site here is Alan's daugter expalining about the Amazing Global Jukebox:
"Lomax-Chairetakis: The Global Jukebox is a multimedia program that Alan began working on in the late '80s, and continued on until about 1994, when he had to retire. It's pretty amazing, because he put it together right at the beginning when multimedia was first getting started.
He actually brought it to a prototype phase -- it's not finished yet. It's meant to be sort of an exploratorium, that's what he called it, for people to be able to look at their music and their culture at the same time.
And [explore] their cultural ancestry through music -- and dance, as well -- through this tool. It's also a research tool.
It's pretty huge and complex. It's based on about 25 years of research that Alan and other colleagues in anthropology, musicology, linguistics, and dance did on performance styles all over the world.
They looked at different aspects of the way people make music and sing, and the way people move, and move in dance and in work, and how that relates to culture and other things.
They came up with some pretty amazing results and interesting ideas. That's all in there. Our goal is to finish it one day.
Now, wouldn't it be great if, as a thank you to Alan, that could happen?
