Well, we don't have a textbook yet, but we do have one of the country's
largest collections of ethnomusicology materials down here in
Bloomington, and are always willing to give tours etc., of the
collections. For some materials see our web page & look under 'Collections'

Come on down to the Archives of Traditional Music also.
