Spent some time at the local B&N today as they have an unusually large 
photography section for this area. Guess they have yet to order "Armed 
America". :(

I did find "New Orleans 1960" by William Claxton. Excellent collection of 
his road trip through New Orleans with Joachim Berendt. The book "Jazzlife" 
documents the travel from NY to LA. 

The photographs document the jazz and blues life in New Orleans during the 
60's. About 6 pages into the book there's a photograph of Claxton's gear, a 
Nikon F and Leica M3. Interesting book for jazz lovers or just to see to how 
much New Orleans has and has not changed in the past 4 decades. I'm sure 
Sonny and Jeff would notice where some photographs were taken more than me 
since I'm a 70's child.
