Don't want to get everyone too excited, but I just came from the ICS
collection kept at the University of Maryland. I talked to a fellow named
Tom, his last name now slips my mind. As some of you might know Jerry
Pierce's vast collection of music was given to the ICS. Tom said it was
more than 7000 pieces, which almost triples the current ICS library. It is
being catalogued, and might be available in as little as 3 months. Tom also
has ideas (which I encouraged) to put a listing of the collection, once
completed, on-line, so we won't all have to shell out the bucks for a new
book of listings. He said that some of the delays will be because 'bout
a 1000 or so of the pieces are photocopies and he will have to check the
legalities in making them available.
