So honored by this review of our book on @snoozerquinn : “Perhaps you never thought your bookshelf needed a book all about Snoozer Quinn, but this one is entrancing, not only as his detailed portrait, but as a model of humane scholarship.” https://t.co/SxKjL86hNH

Listen to Snoozer Quinn on this improvisational number, recorded in the tuberculosis ward in Charity Hospital in 1949. Johnny Wiggs was operating the recording machine in the nurses' station. https://t.co/rI3f4xvbcM

I just got my signed copy of this book about the enigmatic Snoozer Quinn in the mail and it looks wonderful in person. I can’t wait to try my hand at the transcriptions. Katy and Dan have done an amazing thing and they should both be very proud of what they have accomplished.
