Call Dwight Bowers at the National Museum of American History,
Smithsonian Institution.  I don't know his direct number, but if you call
the main SI info number, 202-357-1300, they will connect you.  Dwight has
done tons of work with popular music and exhibitions, programs, cds,
publications.  He'd know your answer.
