There are lots of early references, including the obit for GIULIO T. RICORDI on June7, 1912, head of one of the biggest music publishing houses. Obits have a lot of interesting information in them, so I visit them regularly (may tie in to my fascination with graveyards). Ricordi's family business published all of Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Puccini and others. Though not Fusilli , as he was spiraling out of control at that point ;) http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=990DE5D7153CE633A25754C0A9609C946396D6CF On May 3, 1853 we see an article about the new edition of some Scottish songs. "Songs of Scotland," vol. 1; "Irish Melodies," vol. 1. J. A. NOVELLO, No. 389 Broadway, has sent us the especial American edition of the above compositions. They are included in two neat volumes, published at a low price, but possessing all the clearness and elegance which the best type, printing, paper and binding can impart. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A01EEDD1331E13BBC4B53DFB3668388649FDE So, the music business is indeed alive and well in the NY Times archive :) Grab a shovel!

But also, I was kinda hoping to read some of the first references to The Beatles, the Stones... or Kurt Cobain's death... stuff like that. It would be very interesting. This is great!
