          This is a list of the 120+ music books in my own personal library. Complete bibliographic details for each book can be found on my Bibliography page. These are some of the over 270 books I have been indexing since 1991 on my Musician's Birthdays/Bibliography pages. These books have also been the valuable authoritative sources of a great deal of the musician information found in the FolkLib Index.

          Note: I am just a Folk Music fan, and not a library, so I cannot accept requests for any type of research in my personal collection of books. Check with your local library or book store for access to these books.
