[lbo-talk] Paglia on Gaga

[Mark Bennett]

There's an old dude in San Diego, Lou Curtis, who has a small record store,
Folk Art Records, that contains just about the most amazing collection of
old jazz, blues, and folk recordings in existence.  He even has a large
collection of wax cylinders.  He has a show every Sunday night on the local
jazz station, called "Jazz Roots" where you'll hear many of his obscure
recordings.  Definitely worth a listen:
