This man's "Notes On" series is all over the place, and very handy it is too. Several of the descriptions I have seen characterise the series as a musicological analysis, but is Mr Pollack actually a musicologist, or is he e.g. a software engineer who spent a lot of time on Usenet? Is this his real name? Is he still alive? Does he exist, teach music, work in a university etc? Has he written anything else, does he have any publishing credits? I notice that a Google search for "'alan w pollack' -beatles" returns just 53 hits, and various permutations of his name, with or without the W, aren't very helpful. -Ashley Pomeroy 22:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, 3 years later, I came here to make exactly the same comment. I don't know. He's described as a "musicologist" everywhere, so I'd guess he at least has a BMus. I see an Amazon profile (he likes the Brooklyn Bridge), but nothing about his professional life.

It's a tricky one. Is he notable? Or is it just his Notes On... series that is notable? Perhaps the latter. Stevage 00:41, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ya it would be nice to have a little more background on his qualifications. Three years later, I'm browsing the 'net and I have no idea who this guy is. NevarMaor (talk) 04:14, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
