Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Subseries 10A. Diaries/Journals: The SUB-series begins with a diary from 1926 and then jumps to 1941-1949; 1965-1974. The diaries include one volume from 1926, the remainder cover the periods of the 1940s through the early 1970s. There is a significant gap, however, in the 1950s. Also includes notebooks on gigs and tours (1960s-1982); journal of gigs in Detroit and Indianapolis (1956-1958); phone/address books from Chicago and NYC in the 1930s; address book (1936-1938); note fragments (1941); and two practice logs (1936-1937). Notebooks include various types of information including finances, gigs, travelogue of Detroit and Indianapolis tours, 1956-1958, and practice details. The address and phone books list musicians, entertainers, and other people with their addresses, phone numbers, and sometimes brief information.

Subseries 10B. Calendars and Appointment Books: The daily calendars and appointments books are more abbreviated datebooks, however some have detailed entries.
