      Good tip Meaghan! I default to our public broadcaster (CBC Radio 2) but I will have to give AU Library a look-see. At one time one of our academics (David Gregory) incorporated his music course with a gig at CKUA. I remember seeing the rows and rows of cassette recordings housed in shelving in his basement.. Rag Time to Rolling Stones stands out, one of his Popular Music courses I think?

      Hey, any chance we'll see some archaeological adventues for Stabby?
