Hi All, This is hopefully close enough to on-topic and of interest to folks on this list. As a composer and musician, part of my Azorean research interest is musical as well as genealogical, and in fact I was recently in the islands for three weeks working on a musical project (blog here <http://spmrhouse.blogspot.com/>). A friend just pointed me to this very interesting blog post <http://excavatedshellac.com/category/azores/> about 78 RPM recordings of Azorean folk music made in Oakland, CA in the 1940s by an Anthony Sears/Antonio Soares. I'm posting it here partly because it's interesting to see how music researchers work much the same way as genealogy researchers, but also because there is a chance that someone on this list will be related to this Antonio Soares and might have more info about his recording business. At the end of the article there's a link for A Chamarrita Nova, that leads to an MP3 recording you can play and/or download. Worth a listen!
