Source for music terms and.....

[Eric Nielsen]

This may be common knowledge, but I just stumbled upon this great database
(while checking out a vintage banjo) for people who like to research
American music. Thought I'd post it--just in case it's not well known to
the list.

http://www.arcade-museum.com/library/search-music/

I only spent a few minutes there and found a page with an early occurrence
of "jazz":
http://mtr.arcade-museum.com/MTR-1918-66-21/index.php?page_no=09&frame=MTR-1918-66-21-09.pdf

Gotta get some sleep,

Eric
