A friend of mine is the guy that put it together. He works at Loyola New Orleans and is a co-host on the Sunday Cajun music program on WWOZ and did the database in his spare time. He did a lot of research at the different record companies trying to put it together but he hasn't had the time to really update it with newer recordings.
For me, that discography is of marginal value. It was a noble effort; but like a lot of noble efforts, it was never completed or updated; and there are a lot of mistakes.
I would like just to have a discography of what I have; but that too takes a lot of effort. My discography is largely in my head, which doesn't do anybody (including me) much good.
The best thing that I have seen and used a lot is a book that Nancy Weston put out back in 2000 titled "Cajun Song Index." In that index, she has a list of recordings included in her index. Then she has a list in alphabetical order of songs/tunes on the recordings that she lists. It is really quite good for LPs and CDs released up to that point. I have used it a lot.
If you are interested in finding out more about it, the last email address that I have for her is IMCAJUNTWO@aol.com.
There is also a lot of information in various other places - the website Neal mentioned; a listing of recordings made in New Orleans back in the 20's and 30's (Neal gives a link to that on his website); and various collectors who specialize in Pre-War (II) recordings; recordings released on Jay Miller's many labels plus Eddie Schuler's; and obviously, those who collect LPs and CDs.
The only problem is that none of them is comprehensive and most only consist of recordings that the various collectors have - not what they do not own.
Anyway, all of them have value; but Nancy Weston's is the best that I know about.
It sure would be nice to have something that is complete and kept current; but except for someone's own personal interest, I'm not sure how much demand there would be for a comprehensive discography.
If you ever hear of one, I sure would like to know about it.
I agree with Jack. Nancy's compilation is great. She added an addendum a
couple of years after the original. It is truly a labor of love for the music.
I use it alot - to find versions of a song (quickly) when I want the song
for learning on accordion or practicing before a gig where I play guitar
or bass.
