Miss Emily’s JukeJoint
“Lets Face the Music, and Dance”- Irving Berlin
Greetings from Miss Emilys’ JukeJoint aka the Emily Fowler Library Music CD collection. This is Chuck Voellinger, your DJ, so to speak. A few things to note:
-We are consolidating some music collections, so you may notice changes to labels on Music CDs and to the headings in the drawers. For example, all music in the Classical genre will be cataloged and searchable that way. We will no longer have the headings, “piano music”, “guitar music”, etc. on the shelves- you may still search for those terms in the catalog, however. For instance, a subject search for “sonatas” will return any items we have that are cataloged with that term but they will all be found on the shelf under the broad category “Classical”. For more information, please contact a staff member if you have questions.
Here are the old collections followed by the corresponding new name. Some have not changed, however.
Ballet Music – Classical
Band Music – Classical
Chamber Music – Classical
Childrens – Childrens
Choral Music – Classical
Country – Country and Bluegrass
Electronic Music – Rock & Popular
Folk, American – Folk
Folk, World – Folk
Gospel - Gospel
Guitar Music – Classical, Rock & Popular or Jazz & Blues
Holiday – Holiday
Jazz – Jazz & Blues
Musicals – Soundtracks and Musicals
Operas – Operas
Orchestral – Classical
Organ Music – Classical
Percussion Music - Classical
Piano Music – Classical

Rap – Rap

String Music – Classical
Symphonies – Classical

Violin Music – Classical

These changes have already occured at the North and South Branch, so you may have already noticed or are already familiar.
In the next posting we’ll get into some buried treasures perhaps and talk about music.
