We intend these musical "samples" to be heard only as a sampling of the material in the Lou Curtiss Sound Library. Those with an interest in the material may freely listen to the music, and we trust you will respect the artists and performers by not copying or disseminating the music in any way beyond what is commonly considered 'fair use' for research or education.

We are working with the University of California Los Angeles Archive of Ethnomusicology and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress to preserve and protect this music. We welcome further inquiries from any interested persons.
