What follows is a plea from a jazz researcher.  Can anyone help him?  Please
respond to pgerler at verizon.net
I suppose response to the list would be good too since it seems like an
interesting subject.

Greetings,

Can anyone direct me to info about gramophone or phonograph use in New
Orleans, first two decades? Who might the early jazz pioneers have listened
to (if they could even get access)? We know that Armstrong was listening to
McCormack, Galli-Curci, and Caruso by the late teens. What about earlier?
What was available?

Many thanks in advance!
