Too bad you have to be on UNC's campus to stream the digital audio... makes the effort to convert the tapes virtually worthless imo

I wonder how the McCabe,s archives found its way across the country at UNC. Local universities USC or UCLA, I would think, moight have been better. UCLA Has (had?) an ethnocology music section of the Music Libray, and housed the John Edwards Foundation (music) Archives.
