Unfortunately, after a couple of decades, I no longer remember the word, but I do recall that the second volume of the Grove Dictionary of Music said "Back to Bolivia" on its spine in its last print edition. Now that it only exists as an online resource, we are denied such romantic pleasures as this found title.Puntonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-1942105322158407832014-10-22T13:48:58.838-04:002014-10-22T13:48:58.838-04:00I wish I had known of this place when I still live...I wish I had known of this place when I still lived in NYC! If you are ever down in Philly, you should check out the Rosenbach Museum. I think you would enjoy it.Lisa MBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-45145456798074038252014-10-22T09:26:11.146-04:002014-10-22T09:26:11.146-04:00I remember going to the main branch of the NYPL af...I remember going to the main branch of the NYPL after school when I was in high school in the mid 1970s. For some reason I wanted to teach myself Old English - you know, to read Beowulf. The books often dated from the early 1800s and the cards in the card catalog were probably nearly as old. It was one of my favorite parts of going.Mitchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-86803932323753594572014-10-22T08:46:36.076-04:002014-10-22T08:46:36.076-04:00Good catch!
