Hi Don. Thanks for the reply. I'm happy to say that I've learned a good
handful of information with the post to the group. In fact, I've learned
that the Myers Index is definitely something that I need to get my hands
on...so if you have any leads on a set (partial or otherwise), please do
let
me know!
Thanks for the wishes of encouragement. I do appreciate it--especially in
light of some of the "hesitant criticism" that I've gathered from some of
the others. I will be asking a few more questions back to the group as I
narrow the focus/goals/etc.... right now I am still "feeling out" the
ideas--so if you have any requests/suggestions/etc... please send them on!
Much Appreciated!
Blake

Hi Blake,
I've been away from the list for a few days and have just seen your
message. Apologies for my silence. Your message will be forwarded with
this, I hope.
Yes, the Kurtz Myers et cetera book(s) are devoted almost entirely to
classical and operatic records. Perhaps entirely; there might be small
sections for
ethnic music. But I confess that I haven't looked.
As an old discographical fanatic, I can only wish you encouragement and
good luck.

Thanks Don for the information--the "Record Ratings" publication is one
that
I had not seen any reference to thus far. I'll have to see if I can
locate
a copy in the area. Can you tell me if this publication includes reviews
for classical and operatic recordings?
Thanks Much!
D. Blake Werts
