"One thing

my uncle did was to observe the evolution of a performer over the course

of their career," adds DeFonso.

Dr. Thomas

K. Harden, president of Clayton State, Sherryl Nelson, director of Spivey

Hall, Edwards, Otaki, Reda Rowell, Clayton State director of Development,

and Robert Fox, director of the Clayton State Library, were all in attendance

for the July 11 presentation in the University's new music building.

The collection

will be housed at the Clayton State Library and kept behind the circulation

desk. It will be cataloged separately and made available to all the students.

"Each

CD will have a label indicating it is from 'The Bill Dendinger Collection',"

says Fox. "Our online catalog will also reference the collection,

so people will be able to pull up just CDs from that collection as well."
