Here in San Diego, America's Finest City Dixieland Jazz Society (AFCDJS) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization run primarily by volunteers and composed of some 1,300 members dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of one of our country's original musical art forms, traditional Dixieland Jazz.

AFCDJS maintains an archive of over 2,100 small combo standard and Dixieland-style sheet music arrangements.

Our goal is to make copies of this material available to school and youth groups, and other community, church, or professional musical organizations.

We cover copying and postage costs by charging 20¢ per page (25¢ Canada; 30¢ foreign). Many arrangements for six pieces are only six to eight pages.

A 50-page index of the tunes in our archives lists the arranger, number of pages, and instrument mix for each title.

We charge $6.00 for a copy of the index, which just about covers the cost of making it. Add $2.00 for US postage ($3.00 Canada; $6.00 foreign).

To receive a copy of the index by mail, make a check or money order for $8.00 ($9.00 Canada; $12.00 foreign) payable to Howie Nielson and send it to him at this address:

PO Box 3062
Escondido CA 92033-3062 U.S.A.

We welcome PayPal and credit card requests. Howie's e-mail address is: aarchivist@sbcglobal.net. Ask Howie about a free copy of the index via e-mail on the internet.

Howie Nielson is an AFCDJS volunteer. Anything left over after out-of-pocket copy costs and postage goes directly to the AFCDJS Youth Musical Education Fund.
