A Fistful of Music
Music Newsletter for the Hiram College Library Community
May 2014
You might puzzle over many curiosities in Northeast Ohio—how we can have so many losing
sports teams, why is there lake effect, how many orange cones does it take? But you don’t
have to puzzle over our music collection. No other institution in the area has the eclectic
mix of genres and artists that we do. We have just topped 14,500 CDs and 11,500 vinyl
recordings. That’s 26,000, for those keeping track of such things, and we do. With more
than 900 Northeast Ohio artist CDs, 500 historic jazz CDs (the Rochford Collection), and the
immense Bauman CD Collection, we just keep on growing. This time out we have local
rockers, some from far away, Russian composers without Russian names, organists,
harpists, guitarists, harmonica players, and two guys named Gilberto. Any comments,
questions or demands can be sent to Jeff Wanser, [email protected]. We'll make more.
